References for loop rings I recently saw a paper on alternative loop rings, as always, I am interested in all kinds of rings, and new kind of ring looked attractive. I would like to read loop and then loop rings in detail from basics of loops. Is there any text which has included these algebraic structures in details, or some book on loops or loop rings only. I found an ebook by Goodaire and Jespers named Alternative loop rings, but it only works with Moufang loop rings as I quickly went through first two chapters to see what is what?
Is there any other book, or text, which deals with general loops, or discuss various kinds of loop, because I am familiar with rings, but not with loops, so first I would like to grasp concept of loops. Then concept of loop rings will be a lot like group rings, I guess!!
Thanx in advance

You could start by reading the article A brief history of loop rings by E. G. Goodaire and trace back the papers citing this one.
See also Advances in loop rings and their loops from the same author.
