A co-publication of the AMS and CBMS
These lectures give a clear and unified exposition of a major area of current research on the connections between dynamics and topology, treating the fundamental problem—what dynamics can occur in a prescribed homological setting—via algebraic chain complexes derived from the unstable manifold decomposition of dynamics.

Becoming a standard reference for workers in the field … Also suitable for advanced graduate students, or for topologists interested in a rapidly growing field of applications.
