Review
"Mitrani succeeds in making his subject easily accessible...This approach makes the material clear and understandable for a wide audience. In addition, complex theoretical and practical problems seem relatively easy...a concise, clear, and well-documented book." Mathematics of Computing
"...a very useful text for the practitioner and a nice addition as a quick reference to the probabilist's library. I highly recommend it to both groups...The strong emphasis on the explanation of ideas and the intuition behind concepts sets this text apart from others on the subject." Journal of the American Statistical Association

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Bright and clean, firm and square, just a few minor rubs and bumps. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is actually in better than very good condition. Thus it looks and feels unread with contents that are crisp, fresh and tight. Now offered for sale at a special bargain price.
