Now more that a quarter of a century old, intersection homology theory has proven to be a powerful tool in the study of the topology of singular spaces, with de

The first expository book-length introduction to intersection homology from the viewpoint of singular and piecewise linear chains.

This book explores the study of singular spaces using techniques from areas within geometry and topology and the interactions among them.

This is the fourth volume of the Handbook of Geometry and Topology of Singularities, a series that aims to provide an accessible account of the state of the art
