The central theme of this book is the restoration of Poincaré duality on stratified singular spaces by using Verdier-self-dual sheaves such as the prototypical intersection chain sheaf on a complex variety.

The book first carefully introduces sheaf theory, derived categories, Verdier duality, stratification theories, intersection homology, t-structures and perverse sheaves. It then explains the construction as well as algebraic and geometric properties of invariants such as the signature and characteristic classes effectuated by self-dual sheaves.
