An Elementary Illustrated Introduction to Simplicial Sets
by Greg Friedman
Publisher: arXiv.org 2016
Number of pages: 58
Description:
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to students familiar with just the fundamentals of algebraic topology.

E 'Infinite' Ring Spaces and E 'Infinite' Ring Spectra
by J. P. May - Springer
The theme of this book is infinite loop space theory and its multiplicative elaboration. The main goal is a complete analysis of the relationship between the classifying spaces of geometric topology and the infinite loop spaces of algebraic K-theory.

Lectures on Etale Cohomology
by J. S. Milne
These are the notes for a course taught at the University of Michigan in 1989 and 1998. The emphasis is on heuristic arguments rather than formal proofs and on varieties rather than schemes. The notes also discuss the proof of the Weil conjectures.
