A better Reference than Andre Weil's Basic Number Theory

512 Views Asked by At

I want to get a feel for Adeles. I have been suggested to read the first 4 chapters of Andre Weil's Basic Number Theory. I am very confused by the writing style and conventions (like a field need not be commutative) used in the book. Is there any other suitable reference? I find Ramakrishnan and Valenza's Fourier Analysis on Number fields easy to read. But, I am afraid the content is not the same.

A great reference on the subject is the book "Class Field Theory" of Joürgen Neurkirch.
