Moreover, its point of view is algorithmic and thus it provides both a history and a case history of work in complexity theory. The presentation is admirable; Karloff's style is informal (even humorous at times) without sacrificing anything necessary for understanding. Diagrams (including horizontal brackets that group terms) aid in providing clarity. The end-of-chapter notes are helpful...Recommended highly for acquisition, since it is not only a textbook, but can also be used for independent reading and study.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Choice Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe reader will be well served by reading the monograph from cover to cover.
