This is the softcover reprint of the English translation of 1971 (available from Springer since 1989) of the first 4 chapters of Bourbaki's Topologie générale. Important classes of topological spaces are studied, uniform structures are introduced and applied to topological groups. 5-10, is also available in English in softcover.
