"The book enjoys its well-deserved reputation, it still gives a good overview of relevant models and a number of useful methods, it is clear and reliable … and deserves to be consulted by any serious researchers in mathematics or statistical physics who is interested in stochastic evolutions of many-particle (or many-spin) systems. … Springer’s decision to republish it as a "Classic in Mathematics’, making it available at an affordable price, thus is very welcome." (A. C. D. van Enter, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1103 (5), 2007)
