"A detailed treatment of Mackey functors and homotopical applications in the broader context of enriched diagram categories, suitable for graduate students or researchers with an interest in category theory, equivariant homotopy theory, or related fields. A self-contained reference, with complete definitions and full proofs for non-expert readers"--
