This book is, as the author says, a text for a first year graduate course in algebraic topology. The list of contents is traditional for such a course: simplicial and singular homology (later extended to relative homology and cohomology, with cup products); simplicial approximation; some use of acyclic models, a little homological algebra, and a final chapter on duality with a brief mention of Čech theory. The book has grown out of lectures given many times: indeed the content of the course is almost exactly what used to be given 30 years ago. Thus proofs are all presented with great attention to detail; the geometrical illustrations are the traditional ones (surfaces, spheres, projective spaces, lens spaces)... (Zentralblatt)
