Michael Damron (Photo by Joe Rabinoff)From the review:
The wonderful book by Auffinger, Damron, and Hanson pro- vides an up-to-date and thorough discussion of one of the most classical models in probability theory. The book is readable and user friendly, yet provides the reader with detailed proofs and intuition for classical and modern results. It is therefore an excellent source for an advanced course on the subject. In addition, the book contains dozens of open questions, and it is thus a natural tool for researchers who are interested in the subject.
