When, at the age of 39, Pere Menal met his untimely death in a traffic accident, he had already held the Chair of Algebra at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, served as an editor of the journal "Communications in Algebra", had directed six PhD theses, and had written some 40 papers on ring theory, many of them in collaboration with ring theorists from many parts of the world. This text brings together all of Menal's ring theory papers, both published and unpublished. The earlier articles deal with group rings, and the later articles with von Neumann regular rings and C*-algebras. A theme common to many of the articles is the behaviour of general linear groups, from such viewpoints as residual finiteness or the description of normalizers.
