This book contains accounts of talks held at a symposium in honor
of John C. Moore in October 1983 at Princeton University, The work
includes papers in classical homotopy theory, homological algebra,
rational homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory of spaces, and other
subjects.

This book is an exposition of the technique of surgery on simply-connected smooth manifolds. Systematic study of differentiable manifolds using these ideas was begun by Milnor [45] and Wallace [68] and developed extensively in the last ten years. It is now possible to give a reasonably complete theory of simply-connected manifolds of dimension ~ 5 using this approach and that is what I will try to begin here. The emphasis has been placed on stating and proving the general results necessary to apply this method in various contexts. In Chapter II, these results are stated, and then applications...
