This book serves as an introduction and reference to knot theory in lens spaces, extending from basic concepts to a comprehensive exposition, including the newest approaches and results in the field. It presents two viewpoints, diagrammatic methods with combinatorial approaches and algebraic methods using generalizations of the Artin braid groups. The text is intended for students and researchers in knot theory, and topology in general.
