This book is about the interplay between algebraic topology and
the theory of infinite discrete groups. It is a hugely important
contribution to the field of topological and geometric group
theory, and is bound to become a standard reference in the field.
To keep the length reasonable and the focus clear, the author
assumes the reader knows or can easily learn the necessary algebra,
but wants to see the topology done in detail. The central subject
of the book is the theory of ends. Here the author adopts a new
algebraic approach which is geometric in spirit.
