As such, it is more a technical manual than a bedtime story. Topics which are covered: Singular and regular points of varieties and schemes; various definitions of blowups and their mutual relations; properties of blowups; transforms of varieties, schemes and ideals; exceptional divisors; Cartier and normal crossings divisors; transversality; hypersurfaces of maximal contact; flags; coefficient ideals; resolution invariants; order of ideals; Hilbert-Samuel function; semicontinuity; various resolution statements; characteristic zero resolution; characteristic p phenomena. The text is complemented with lots of illustrating examples.
