Proceedings of a workshop held in G÷ttingen, Germany in June 1991, and in Seattle, Washington in August 1991. Papers discuss a combinatorial approach to reducibility of mapping classes, interval exchange spaces and moduli spaces, mapping class groups and classical homotropy theory, the rational Picard group of the moduli space for Riemann surfaces with spin structure, certain families of compact Riemann surfaces, higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion, and logarithmic law for geodesics in moduli space.
