'A very valuable addition to the growing field of random graphs, providing a systematic coverage of these novel models.' Michael Krivelevich, Mathematical Reviews 'The book is written in a friendly, chatty style, making it easy to read; I very much like that. In summary, Random Graph Dynamics is a nice contribution to the area of random graphs and a source of valuable insights.' Malwina J. Luczak, Journal of the American Statistical Association
