Sommario/riassunto

The Long Walls joining Athens with its harbors are universally recognized as symbols of naval imperialism and the lynchpin of a radical departure from traditional Greek military strategy during the later fifth century B.C. Nevertheless, many important questions about the structures remain disputed or simply neglected. As the first comprehensive history of the Long Walls, the present study dates each construction phase, examines the function of the structures from beginning to end, and chronicles their fluctuating viability. The analysis is driven by the proposition that the Athenians would not have relied on the walls to the sea when their navy did not control the sea lanes effectively. This full consideration of the Long Walls' development and strategic prominence over time will enable accurate assessment of their position in Greek military and political history from classical through



early Hellenistic times.

Sommario/riassunto

This standard textbook on modern graph theory combines the authority of a classic with the engaging freshness of style that is the hallmark of active mathematics. It covers the core material of the subject, with concise yet complete proofs, while offering glimpses of more advanced methods in each field via one or two deeper results. This is a major new edition. Among many other improvements, it offers additional tools for applying the regularity lemma, brings the tangle theory of graph minors up to the cutting edge of current research, and addresses new topics such as chi-boundedness in perfect graph theory. The book can be used as a reliable text for an introductory graduate course and is also suitable for self-study. From the reviews: “Deep, clear, wonderful. This is a serious book about the heart of graph



theory. It has depth and integrity.” Persi Diaconis & Ron Graham, SIAM Review “The book has received a very enthusiastic reception, which it amply deserves. A masterly elucidation of modern graph theory.” Bulletin of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications “Succeeds dramatically ... a hell of a good book.” MAA Reviews “ ... like listening to someone explain mathematics.” Bulletin of the AMS .
