โฆ Synopsis
This user-friendly book introduces modern homotopy theory through the lens of higher categories after Joyal and Lurie. Starting from scratch it guides graduate students and researchers through the powerful tools that the theory provides for applications in such areas as algebraic geometry, representation theory, algebra and logic.

The purpose of this monograph, which is aimed at the graduate level and beyond, is to obtain a deeper understanding of Quillen's model categories. A model category is a category together with three distinguished classes of maps, called weak equivalences, cofibrations, and fibrations. Model categorie
The earlier chapters are quite good; however, some of the advanced topics in this book are better approached (appreciated) after one has learned about them elsewhere, at a more leisurely pace. For instance, this isn't the best place to first read about characteristic classes and topological K the
