Surveys on Surgery Theory (AM-145), Volume 1 : : Papers Dedicated to C. T. C. Wall. (AM-145) / / ed. by Sylvain Cappell, Jonathan Rosenberg, Andrew Ranicki.

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 lament...
