Rezensionen

"This is an excellent introduction to the Rokhlin and Casson invariants for homology 3-spheres [...], and in particular also to the necessary background material from the theory of 3- and 4-manifolds [...], so the book may serve also as a reasonable short and efficient introduction to some important parts of low-dimensional topology. It grew out of a course for second year graduate students and concentrates 19 lectures on less than 200 pages, including also a glossary on back-ground material from algebraic topology, a collection of exercises, open problems and comments on recent developments [...] To conclude, the author has succeeded in presenting a lot of material in a clear and efficient way, and the book is interesting and stimulating to read."
