I’m looking for a text on 3-manifolds that focuses on wild/pathological objects, similar to Bing’s work in the field. I know basic algebraic topology (homotopy, homology, cohomology) and have read through Schulten’s *Introduction to 3 manifolds*. Are there any good texts about these that focus on the geometric aspects more than the algebraic side?



Reference request for wild 3-manifolds
The only two books that I know of that focus on wild/pathological aspects of 3-manifolds are Bing's "Geometric topology of 3-manifolds" and Moise's "Geometric topology in dimension 2 and 3". But if you want to learn "Bing style topology", the best sources expand their focus to high-dimensional phenomena as well. Here three rather different (but complementary) textbooks are Daverman's "Decompositions of Manifolds", Rushing's "Topological embeddings", and Daverman-Venema "Embeddings in Manifolds".
