Surgery theory, the basis for the classification theory of
manifolds, is now about forty years old. There have been some
extraordinary accomplishments in that time, which have led to
enormously varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and
geometry. Workers in many of these areas have often lamented the
lack of a single source that surveys surgery theory and its
applications. Indeed, no one person could write such a survey.
The sixtieth birthday of C. T. C. Wall, one of the leaders of
the founding generation of surgery theory, provided an opportunity
to rectify the situation and produce a comprehensive book on the
subject. Experts have written state-of-the-art reports that will be
of broad interest to all those interested in topology, not only
graduate students and mathematicians, but mathematical physicists
as well.
