Clear, comprehensive introduction emphasizes graph imbedding but also covers thoroughly the connections between topological graph theory and other areas of mathematics. Discussion of imbeddings into surfaces is combined with a complete proof of the classification of closed surfaces. Authors explore the role of voltage graphs in the derivation of genus formulas, explain the Ringel-Youngs theorem — a proof that revolutionized the field of graph theory — and examine the genus of a group, including imbeddings of Cayley graphs. 1987 edition. Many figures.

This definitive treatment written by well-known experts emphasizes graph imbedding while providing thorough coverage of the connections between topological graph theory and other areas of mathematics: spaces, finite groups, combinatorial algorithms, graphical enumeration, and block design. Almost every result of studies in this field is covered, including most proofs and methods. Its numerous examples and clear presentation simplify conceptually difficult material, making the text accessible to students as well as researchers. Includes an extensive list of references to current literature.
