Based on material of William Thurston presented at a seminar in Orsay from 1976 to 1977, this title covers topics such as the space of measured foliations on a surface, the Thurston compactification of Teichmuller space, the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms, and dynamical properties of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms.
