'This looks like an essential resource for any student who wants to understand deterministic and randomized communication complexity deeply.' Scott Aaronson, University of Texas 'Communication complexity is not only a beautiful and important area of the theory of computing, it is also vibrant and ever-changing. Two of the leading researchers in this area take us through a fascinating journey into the theory and applications of communication complexity and through old and new jams. I feel inspired to teach a course based on this book and help spread the word.' Omer Reingold, Stanford University, California 'This book is a much-needed introductory text on communication complexity. It will bring the reader up to speed on both classical and more recent lower bound techniques, and on key application areas. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in complexity theory.'
