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.

Algebraic and Geometric Surgery
by 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.

Higher Topos Theory
by Jacob Lurie - Princeton University Press
Jacob Lurie presents the foundations of higher category theory, using the language of weak Kan complexes, and shows how existing theorems in algebraic topology can be reformulated and generalized in the theory's new language.

Lecture Notes on Motivic Cohomology
by Carlo Mazza, Vladimir Voevodsky, Charles Weibel - AMS
This book provides an account of the triangulated theory of motives. Its purpose is to introduce Motivic Cohomology, to develop its main properties, and finally to relate it to other known invariants of algebraic varieties and rings.
