 <content>\section{non--Abelian algebraic topology} 
Algebraic structures in dimensions greater than 1 which develop the non-Abelian character of the fundamental group of a topological space, or a novel approach to higher dimensional, non-Abelian algebraic treatments of topological invariants in Algebraic Topology.

\subsection{Note}
The book presents ``the use of filtered spaces rather than just topological spaces allows the development of basic algebraic topology in terms of higher homotopy groupoids; these algebraic structures better reflect the geometry of subdivision and composition than those commonly in use. Exploration of these uses of higher dimensional versions of groupoids has been largely the work of
the first two authors since the mid 1960s."</content>
