This volume consists of the proceedings of a conference held at the University College of North Wales (Bangor) in July of 1979. It assembles research papers which reflect diverse currents in low-dimensional topology. The topology of 3-manifolds, hyperbolic geometry and knot theory emerge as major themes. The inclusion of surveys of work in these areas should make the book very useful to students as well as researchers.

Part I. 3-manifolds: 1. The classification of compact 3-manifolds P. Scott; 2. Hyperbolic geometry and 3-manifolds W. Thurston; 3. Sewing-up link exteriors W. R. Brakes; 4. Periodic transformations in homology 3-spheres and the Roblin invariant L. Contreras-Caballero; Part II. Knot theory: 5. The universal abelian cover of a link D. Cooper; 6. Levine's theorem - a remark L. H. Kauffman; 7. The factorisation of knots C. Kearton; 8. Seven excellent knots R. Riley; Part III. Two-dimensional homotopy theory: 9. Identities among relations R. Brown and J. Huebschmann; 10. On Peiffer transformations, link diagrams and a question of J.H.C. Whitehead P. Stefan; 11. Higher-dimensional group theory R. Brown; Part IV. 4-manifolds: 12. Actions of compact connected groups on 4-manifolds P. Orlik
