>Abstract:
>
>S. Novikov has critisized the state of Manifold Theory "However, a huge 
>informational mess was created in the 1970s" ... "In particular, the final 
>Kirby-Siebenmann classification of topological multidimensional manifolds 
>therefore is not yet proved in the literature".
>
>
>While I agree with Novikov in most of the things his complaint, I do not think 
>the last sentence above is reasonable. The purpose of these lectures is to 
>review the history of manifolds, and show how these theorems may be proved 
>with more modern techniques.
