From the reviews of the second edition:“This book demonstrates the breadth of graph theory by including several explicit applications of graph theory to other disciplines. This could be used as a textbook for a graduate or undergraduate course. The streamlined text would make this a good reference book for an undergraduate or non-mathematician who uses graph theory. The embedded exercises make it a useful reference for a teacher of a graph theory course or a course in which selected topics of graph theory may occur.” (Suzanne Caulk, MAA Reviews, June, 2013)“The book goes from the basics to the frontiers of research in graph theory, with newly ideas emergent, in mathematics or computer science. … Definitely the book is high recommended and is of much interest. It provides a solid background in the basic topics of graph theory, and is an excellent guide for graduate. I feel sure that it will be of great use to students, teachers and researchers.” (Francisco José Cano Sevilla, The European Mathematical Society, April, 2013)
