This book reviews the latest experimental results on jet physics
from proton-proton collisons at the LHC. Jets allow to
determine the strong coupling constant over a wide range of
energies up the highest ones possible so far, and to constrain the
gluon parton distribution of the proton, both of which are
important uncertainties on theory predictions in general and for
the Higgs boson in particular.

A novel approach in this book is to categorize the examined
quantities according to the types of absolute, ratio, or shape
measurements and to explain in detail the advantages
and differences. Including numerous illustrations and tables
the physics message and impact of each observable is clearly
elaborated.
