Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rational homotopy theory is a subfield of algebraic topology.

As both notation and techniques of rational homotopy theory have been considerably simplified, the book presents modern elementary proofs for many results that were proven ten or fifteen years ago.
