This survey covers groups of homotopy self-equivalence classes of topological spaces,
and the homotopy type of spaces of homotopy self-equivalences. For manifolds, the
full group of equivalences and the mapping class group are compared, as are the corresponding
spaces. Included are methods of calculation, numerous calculations, finite generation
results, Whitehead torsion and other areas. Some 330 references are given. The book
assumes familiarity with cell complexes, homology and homotopy. Graduate students
and established researchers can use it for learning, for reference, and to determine
the current state of knowledge
