Chernclasses,key invariants of manifolds in geometry and topology.
One has often to face problems where the underlying space is no
more a manifold but a singular variety. Thus it is natural to ask
what is the "good"

starting with the pioneering work of M.-H. Schwartz and R.
MacPherson. We present these notions in the framework of the
obstruction theory and the Chern-Weil theory. The interplay between
these two methods is one of the main features of the monograph.
