Review
“It provides a comprehensive overview for all who are interested in GO with an emphasis on theory and algorithms.” (W. Huyer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, 2015)
“This is a masterly expositional work in which the conversational style of narrative never leaves the reader in doubt about the direction of enquiry. ... the richness of this publication really resides in the fascinating range of mathematical ideas that support its main line of enquiry. ... it can be read selectively at so many different levels up to the postgraduate stage.” (PeterRuane,The Mathematical Association of America, January, 2013)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
