Since the 1950s, many new ideas and tools from algebra, and algebraic and geometric topology, have been applied to study the structure of high-dimensional differential and topological manifolds. This volume is a helpful guide to the basic concepts and results of topology of manifolds - including the h and s-cobordism theorems, topological invariance of rational Pontryagin classes, surgery theory, and algebraic K -theory.
