The 29 papers center around recent developments in the general theory of the localization of spaces, which have produced new insights into classical homotopy theory. Among the topics are the nilpotency of subgroups of self-homotopy equivalences, manifolds with highly connected universal covers, the Yagita invariant of general linear groups, a counter-example to a conjecture of Cohen, and isomorphism classes of locally unitary groups. Accessible to advanced students as well as to professional mathematicians. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
