High-dimensional Knot Theory
by Andrew Ranicki
Publisher: Springer 1998
ISBN/ASIN: 3540633898
ISBN-13: 9783540633891
Number of pages: 693
Description:
This book is devoted entirely to high-dimensional knot theory. It actually has two aims: (1) to serve as an introduction to high-dimensional knot theory, using surgery theory to provide a systematic exposition, (2) to serve as an introduction to algebraic surgery theory, using high-dimensional knots as the geometric motivation.

Algebraic L-theory and Topological Manifolds
by A. A. Ranicki - Cambridge University Press
