Review
"An excellent introduction for graduate students and professional probabilists... The best place to find a self-contained exposition of lace expansion."
―Bulletin of the AMS
"As a carefully written and carefully referenced exposition of an intriguing topic...this monograph is strongly recommended."
―Monatshefte Mathematik
"In this book, the reader will find basically everything there is to know about rigorous mathematical results on self-avoiding walks... It is nicely written and should be read by mathematical physicists and probabilists interested in applications to natural sciences."
―Belgian Mathematical Society
"This is the first book on self-avoiding random walk and a very good one."
―SIAM Review
"An excellent book that should be on the shelf of anyone doing work at the intersection of probability and critical phenomena... The best results about the SAW can still be found here."
--Annals of Probability
