A Primer on Homotopy Colimits
by Daniel Dugger
Publisher: University of Oregon 2008
Number of pages: 72
Description:
This is an expository paper on homotopy colimits and homotopy limits. These are constructions which should arguably be in the toolkit of every modern algebraic topologist. Many proofs are avoided, or perhaps just sketched.

An Introduction to Algebraic Surgery
by Andrew Ranicki - arXiv
Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory investigates the homotopy types of manifolds, using a combination of algebra and topology. It is the aim of these notes to provide an introduction to the more algebraic aspects of the theory.
