โฆ Synopsis
Well known for the clear, inductive nature of its exposition, this reprint volume is an excellent introduction to mathematical probability theory. It may be used as a graduate-level text in one- or two-semester courses in probability for students who are familiar with basic measure theory, or as a supplement in courses in stochastic processes or mathematical statistics.
Designed around the needs of the student, this book achieves readability and clarity by giving the most important results in each area while not dwelling on any one subject. Each new idea or concept is introduced from an intuitive, common-sense point of view. Students are helped to understand why things work, instead of being given a dry theorem-proof regime.

It is often pointed out that the modern theory of statistics requires probability theory, which in turn rests upon measure theory. As a result, all the "calculus-based" statistics textbooks known to me - like Bartoszynski/Niewiadomska-Bugaj 1996, Berger/Casella 2002, Hogg/Craig 1995, Rohatgi 1976,
This book develops systematically and rigorously, yet in an expository and lively manner, the evolution of general random processes and their large time properties such as transience, recurrence, and convergence to steady states. The emphasis is on the most important classes of these processes from
