Foliations and the Geometry of 3-manifolds
by Danny Calegari
Publisher: Oxford University Press 2007
ISBN/ASIN: 0198570082
ISBN-13: 9780198570080
Number of pages: 371
Description:
The purpose of this book is to give an exposition of the "pseudo-Anosov" theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of surface automorphisms, and reveals an intimate connection between dynamics, geometry and topology in 3 dimensions.

An Introduction to High Dimensional Knots
by Eiji Ogasa - arXiv
This is an introductory article on high dimensional knots for the beginners. Is there a nontrivial high dimensional knot? We first answer this question. We explain local moves on high dimensional knots and the projections of high dimensional knots.
