The authors describe unramified maps as a generalization of covering maps. They prove that an arbitrary unramified map over a locally connected space has unique path and homotopy lifting. They also show that the pullback of an unramified map along any map of locally connected spaces is again an unramified map and that the category of unramified maps is a homotopy invariant of locally path-connected spaces. They also explain covering space via unramified map by an example. The paper is a very nice exposition of unramified maps and one can learn many useful techniques from it. The paper is an important addition to the literature on unramified maps. The paper uniformly connects many important works accompanying their study.
