This book is horrible if regarded as a mathematics book. Like previous reviewers I feel there is a total lack of clarity and rigor. Definitions are lacking, perhaps the author feels it is better to provide a "intuitive" feel for the material, than just definingg things. He fails miserably. The fact that what we are really dealing with in this subject are functors((co)homology, homotopy ) is nearly absent from the text. Instead drawings and pictures that are meant to provide "geometric" feel are supplanted.
I would state that this book attempts to teach how to compute in and use the theory than have you understand how the theory is built. It is a book for using the oven, not understanding how it works.
