This text represents a detailed, comprehensive examination of the coupling method and its broad variety of applications. Readers progress from simple to advanced topics, with end-of-discussion notes that reinforce the preceding material. Topics include renewal theory, Markov chains, Poisson approximation, ergodicity, and Strassen's theorem. 1992 edition. Slightly corrected republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1992.
