E 'Infinite' Ring Spaces and E 'Infinite' Ring Spectra
by J. P. May
Publisher: Springer 1977
ISBN/ASIN: 3540081364
ISBN-13: 9783540081364
Number of pages: 280
Description:
The theme of this book is infinite loop space theory and its multiplicative elaboration. This is the appropriate framework for the most structured development of algebraic K-theory, by which we understand the homotopy theory of discrete categories, and one of the main goals of this volume is a complete analysis of the relationship between the classifying spaces of geometric topology and the infinite loop spaces of algebraic K-theory.

Algebraic and Geometric Surgeryby Andrew Ranicki - Oxford University Press
Surgery theory is the standard method for the classification of high-dimensional manifolds, where high means 5 or more. This book aims to be an entry point to surgery theory for a reader who already has some background in topology.
