Algebraic Topology from a Homotopical Viewpoint (Universitext) (USED)

This is an introductory text for a first course in algebraic topology. The authors present the beginning material in algebraic topology from a novel point of view in using a homotopy-theoretic approach. This point of view clearly has applications in algebraic geometry as understood by Lawson and Voevodsky. This carefully written book can be read by any student who knows some topology. It will be a useful place to quickly learn this novel homotoy-theoretic point of view of algebraic topology.
