Reviews

From the reviews: <p>MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS <p> In 535 pages, the authors give a complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review (of virtually) all relevant notions of from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is a truly remarkable achievement, for the subject comes in many guises. <p>Y. Felix, S. Halperin, and J.-C. Thomas <p>Rational Homotopy Theory <p> A complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review of (virtually) all relevant notions from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is truly a magnificent achievement . . . a true appreciation for the goals and techniques of rational homotopy theory, as well as an effective toolkit for explicit computation of examples throughout algebraic topology. <p>a AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
