This book outlines a vast array of techniques and methods regarding
model categories, without focussing on the intricacies of the proofs.
Quillen model categories are a fundamental tool for the understanding of
homotopy theory. While many introductions to model categories fall back
on the same handful of canonical examples, the present book highlights a
large, self-contained collection of other examples which appear
throughout the literature. In particular, it collects a highly scattered
literature into a single volume.
The book is aimed at anyone who uses, or is interested in using, model
categories to study homotopy theory. It is written in such a way that it
can be used as a reference guide for those who are already experts in
the field. However, it can also be used as an introduction to the theory
for novices.
