Lecture Notes on Seiberg-Witten Invariantsby John Douglas Moore - Springer
A streamlined introduction to the theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants suitable for second-year graduate students. These invariants can be used to prove that there are many compact topological four-manifolds which have more than one smooth structure.

Exact Sequences in the Algebraic Theory of Surgeryby Andrew Ranicki - Princeton University Press
One of the principal aims of surgery theory is to classify the homotopy types of manifolds using tools from algebra and topology. The algebraic approach is emphasized in this book, and it gives the reader a good overview of the subject.
