From the reviews: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS "In 535 pages, the authors give a complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review (of virtually) all relevant notions of from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is a truly remarkable achievement, for the subject comes in many guises." Y. Felix, S. Halperin, and J.-C. Thomas Rational Homotopy Theory "A complete and thorough development of rational homotopy theory as well as a review of (virtually) all relevant notions from basic homotopy theory and homological algebra. This is truly a magnificent achievement ... a true appreciation for the goals and techniques of rational homotopy theory, as well as an effective toolkit for explicit computation of examples throughout algebraic topology." -AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY
