TITLE: The Strong Whitney Embedding Theorem-Any Recommended Sources?
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: Just about all of the standard textbooks on manifold theory give proofs of weak versions of the Whitney Embedding theorem. But other then Whitney's original 1944 paper,are there any standard sources that contain a full proof of the strong version of the theorem? The only textbook I know that contains a full proof is Prasolov's Elements of Homology Theory-a wonderful book on algebraic topology I'd recommend to any student studying the subject. But does anyone know any other book sources for it? Just curious.

REPLY [4 votes]: I would use as a general source for Whitney's embedding theorem "Global Analysis" by D. Kahn. This covers the basics. For more far leading resources, I would hurry up to fetch a copy of Whitney original work. This is most illuminating because Whitney really suceeded in explaing (implicitly only, of course) what's behind his ideas.
