Surveys on Surgery Theory (AM-149), Volume 2 : Papers Dedicated to C.T.C. Wall. (AM-149) /

Surgery theory, the basis for the classification theory of manifolds, is now about forty years old. The sixtieth birthday (on December 14, 1996) of C.T.C. Wall, a leading member of the subject's founding generation, led the editors of this volume to reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments...
