The British Combinatorial Conference is held every two years and is now a key event for mathematicians worldwide, working in combinatorics. This volume is published on the occasion of the 18th meeting, which was held 1st-6th July 2001 at the University of Sussex. The papers contained here are surveys contributed by the invited speakers, and are thus of a quality befitting the event. There is also a tribute to Crispin Nash-Williams, past chairman of the British Combinatorial Committee. The diversity of the subjects covered means that this will be a valuable reference for researchers in combinatorics. However, graduate students will also find much here that could be of use for stimulating future research.

Reviews for Surveys in Combinatorics, 2001

A POWERFUL GATHERING OF<br>SUSPENSE AND HORROR STORIES. <br> -The Denver Post<br> <br> Compelling . . . Magic Terror is bliss for readers whose love of the eerie doesn't preclude a taste for literary elegance. . . . [Straub] is one of the few fin-de-siecle writers whose stories can stand alongside works by 20th-century masters of the macabre such as King, Robert Aickman, Shirley Jackson, and Edith Wharton. <br>- The Washington Post Book World<br> <br> There is no safety in this literate and much praised cluster of stories. It's beautifully written stuff that breaks into the place where you live, breaching all psychologically installed security systems. . . . And although we desire to read it for many reasons, the truest one is that Peter Straub writes with compassion. He gets the link between modern horror and classic tragedy. <br>- The Philadelphia Inquirer<br> <br>
