The author gives references for every claim and definition, with the added advantage that some technical [lengthy] points can be left out to avoid burying the ideas.' Najib Idrissi, zbMATH 'The writing is accessible, even for students, and the ideas are clear.

Najib Idrissi, zbMATH Author InformationJulia E. Bergner is an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia. She has written several foundational papers in the area of (∞, 1)-categories, and is currently working on generalizations to higher (∞, n)-categories, (∞, 1)-operads, and equivariant versions. She currently has an NSF CAREER award to investigate algebraic and geometric applications of these kinds of structures. This book was inspired by the notes from a series of lectures on 'The Homotopy Theory of Homotopy Theories' presented in Israel in 2010, with talks given by the author and a number of other participants.
