From the book reviews:
"This book is a second, augmented version of one of the famous books on rational homotopy. . The topological intuition throughout the book, the recollections of the necessary elementary homotopy theory and the list of exercises make this book an excellent introduction to Sullivan's theory. . this book is highly recommended to anyone who wants to understand Sullivan's theory of rational homotopy theory." (Daniel Tanré, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2015)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
