Jim,

Conner and Floyd's book "Differentiable Periodic Maps" (S-V 1964) takes a
homotopy theoretic point of view, but might be what you're looking for.

What is the best, gentle intro to bordism theory?
for someone who knows some hotopy theory but is basically an algebraic
geometer?
thanks

If X is a connected space with nondegenerate basepoint, then I think
the homotopy category of spaces over X should be Quillen-equivalent
to the homotopy category of spaces with an action of the Moore loop
space of X.  One of the functors should send a space over X to its
homotopy fibre.  Does anyone know a reference where this is worked
out in detail?  I'd much prefer a topological treatment, but would
settle for a simplicial one if absolutely necessary.
