The article under review surveys manifold aspects of the Novikov conjecture. As the author notes, the goal of the article is to give an old-fashioned point of view of the Novikov conjecture, and to emphasize connections with characteristic classes and the topology of manifolds. The article omits connections with \(C^*\)-algebras as well as various applications of the Novikov conjecture. The topics included in the article are the Hirzebruch \(L\)-classes, the Novikov conjecture for \(\pi=\mathbb{Z}\), the topological rigidity, the oriented bordism, a crash course in surgery theory, surgery and characteristic classes with a converse to the Novikov conjecture, the assembly maps to state some of the many generalizations of the Novikov conjecture, and the isomorphism conjectures such as the Borel conjecture, the Borel-Novikov isomorphism conjecture, and the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00057].
