justice to the authors, such a detailed bibliography would, possibly, confuse or frighten newcomers to the eld, and would act as a distraction. Nevertheless, the authors cite a number of excellent textbooks in the end of the book for the reader who wants to pursue the subject further. I think, however, that there should be annotations to the books cited in order to help the reader nd out what each book is about and how she/he could use it to further her/his understanding of the eld. Some of them, although looking similar from a look on their titles are, nevertheless diverse in the way they approach the eld of randomized algorithms and probability as well as in the material they cover. In summary, this book certainly lls a gap in the relevant bibliography by providing an excellent, easy to follow introductory text on probability theory and its applications to algorithmics.
