new to the material or experienced researchers looking to expand their understanding of somethin g they were aware of but had never studied in depth . As somone who works mainly in algorithms , most of these topics were either new to me or I hadn't considered them since leaving graduat e school. As such, I found the book to be a perfect oppurtunity to pick up topics I had missed or t o refresh my memory of things long forgotten . While it is always possible to quibble with the choice of topics (everyone will have at least one or two favorite results left out and one person's gem i s often a piece of coal to another), the book would make a good text for an advanced graduate cours e on computability and complexity for students interested in pursuing research in these areas . An interesting project for such a course might be to have the students develop their own chapters fro m a gem of their choosing . With any luck this book will inspire imitations in other areas of compute r science. Review of Network Design : Connectivity and Facilities Locatio n (Proceedings from
