Advanced textbook outlining combinatorial group theory, with emphasis on connections with topology, logic, and arguments of a primitive geometric nature. Also briefly mentions a number of topics not belonging to combinatorial group theory, such as groups acting on trees and linear groups. Softcover.

Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic. With surprising frequency, problems in a wide variety of disciplines, including differential equations, automorphic functions and geometry, have been distilled into explicit questions about groups,
In this book, developed from courses taught at the University of London, the author aims to show the value of using topological methods in combinatorial group theory. The topological material is given in terms of the fundamental groupoid, giving results and proofs that are both stronger and simpler
