Abstract: We consider a tower of function fields F=(F_n)_{ngeq 0} over a finite field F_q and a finite extension E/F_0 such that the sequence mathcal{E):=(EF_n)_{ngoq 0} is a tower over the field F_q. Then we deal with the following: What can we say about the invariants of mathcal{E}; i.e., the asymptotic number of places of degree r for any rgeq 1 in mathcal{E}, if those of F are known? We give a method based on explicit extensions for constructing towers of function fields over F_q with finitely many prescribed invariants being positive, and towers of function fields over F_q, for q a square, with at least one positive invariant and certain prescribed invariants being zero. We show the existence of recursive towers attaining the Drinfeld-Vladut bound of order r, for any rgeq 1 with q^r a square. Moreover, we give some examples of recursive towers with all but one invariants equal to zero.
