Jun 23, 2018 at 4:41 comment added John Samples I want to recommend Rushing's "Topological Embeddings" and Wilder's "Topology of Manifolds" as best references for the heavy machinery underpinnings. Daverman's book on decompositions is well-known but I do not have personal experience with it. These are on the topological side of the spectrum. "A Primer on Mapping Class Groups" is also nice.
Apr 11, 2012 at 15:04 comment added Jim Conant I'm using the Chmutov-Duzhin-Mostovoy book on Vassiliev invariants in a course right now. I highly recommend it.
