5.0 out of 5 stars best introduction to equivariant topology, April 25, 2002
This review is from: The Theory of Transformation Groups (Hardcover)
As the title of my review suggests, this IS where one should start learning about the subject. Other books which could then be tackled (in any order, really) are: Bredon's classic, tom Dieck (especially if you're wondering about the connections with representation theory and stable homotopy), Guillemin et al. on equivariant de Rham theory (with a view toward applications), Allday+Puppe and Hsiang on hard-core cohomological methods, among others. Note that Borel's seminar on transformation groups is a little out of date, but still worth looking into. Much more recently, P. May compiled quite a few very interesting articles addressing the equivariant stable homotopy category, attributing them to R. Piacenza.

There are many other avenues one can pursue after reading Kawakubo. I've only listed a few. Good luck :o)
