Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition: The aim of this graduate-level text is to summarize mathematical concepts concerned with problems of shortest connectivity, and to demonstrate important applications of the theory, in particular in biology. ! The book contains extensive references and gives rise to many problems for further research. ! Examples are discussed in the history of evolution, taxonomy, historical linguistics and others. (Gunther Karigl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1086, 2006)
