About this title

Review

'The book gathers together the main strands of the theory of ends of manifolds from the last thirty years and presents a unified and coherent treatment of them. It also contains authoritative expositions of certain topics in topology such as mapping tori and telescopes, often omitted from textbooks. It is thus simultaneously a research monograph and a useful reference.' Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society

'This is a highly specialized monograph which is very clearly written and made as accessible for the reader as possible ... It is absolutely indispensable for any specialist in the field.' European Mathematical Society

Book Description

The book makes the topology of non-compact spaces accessible to both geometric and algebraic topologists, and algebraists. Recent developments are explained, and tools for further research are provided. In short, this book provides a systematic exposition of the theory and practice of ends of manifolds and CW complexes, along with their algebraic analogues for chain complexes.
