The Hauptvermutung Book: A Collection of Papers on the Topology of Manifoldsby A.A. Ranicki, et al, - Springer
The Hauptvermutung is the conjecture that any two triangulations of a polyhedron are combinatorially equivalent. This conjecture was formulated at the turn of the century, and until its resolution was a central problem of topology.

Algebraic and Geometric Surgeryby 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.
