Singularity Theory I
From the reviews: "... My general impression is of a particularly nice book, with a well-balanced bibliography, recommended!"

Mededelingen van Het Wiskundig Genootschap, 1995

"... The authors offer here an up to date guide to the topic and its main applications, including a number of new results. It is very convenient for the reader, a carefully prepared and extensive bibliography ... makes it easy to find the necessary details when needed. The books (EMS 6 and EMS 39) describe a lot of interesting topics. ... Both volumes are a very valuable addition to the library of any mathematician or physicist interested in modern mathematical analysis."
