Topology of stratified spaces: [... based on lectures given at the Workshop on the Topology of Stratified Spaces that was held at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA, from September 8 to September 12, 2008]

"Appearance of singularities is pervasive in many problems in topology, differential geometry, and algebraic geometry. This book concerns the study of singular spaces using techniques from a variety of areas of geometry and topology and the interactions among them. Expository chapters by well-k...
