From the reviews
"[...] This book presents a complete treatment of a new class of random processes, which have been studied intensively during the last fifteen years. None of this material has ever appeared in book form before. ...The high quality of this work, [...] , makes a fascinating subject and its open problem as accessible as possible. [...]"
F.L. Spitzer in Mathematical Reviews, 1986
"[...] However, it can be said that the author has succeeded in what even experts are seldom able to achieve: To write a clearcut and inspiring book on his favorite subject which meets most, if not all requirements which can be imposed on a comprehensive text on an important new field. The author can be congratulated on his excellent presentation of the theory of interacting particle systems. The book is highly recommended to everyone who works on or is interested in this subject: to probabilists, physicists and theoretical biologists. [...]"

From the reviews:
"This is a paperback reprint, in Springer's Classics in Mathematics series, of a book originally published in 1985 in the Grundlehren series. ... The reprint is well-made and easy to read. It will be welcomed by all specialists in the field." (Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MathDL, January, 2005)
"The book enjoys its well-deserved reputation, it still gives a good overview of relevant models and a number of useful methods, it is clear and reliable ... and deserves to be consulted by any serious researchers in mathematics or statistical physics who is interested in stochastic evolutions of many-particle (or many-spin) systems. ... Springer's decision to republish it as a "Classic in Mathematics', making it available at an affordable price, thus is very welcome." (A. C. D. van Enter, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1103 (5), 2007)
