Theory of Countable Borel Equivalence Relations

"This book surveys the state of the art in a very active research area in descriptive set theory, which has important connections to many areas of mathematics, including group theory, dynamical systems, and operator algebras. It will be of great value to beginning graduate students and researchers in these areas"--
