Fundamental graph algorithms are also included. Numerous examples, illustrations, and exercises guide readers through the concepts and proofs. Offers a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of the fundamental topics in graph theory. Features an early review of basic proof techniques. Structures content for intellectual coherence, providing a gradual increase in intellectual and complexity throughout the book. Introduces new concepts as needed; presents concepts and results in clearly defined units; provides illustrations for key steps in many proofs." -- Publisher

This book fills a need for a thorough introduction to graph theory that features both the understanding and writing of proofs about graphs. Verification that algorithms work is emphasized more than their complexity. An effective use of examples, and huge number of interesting exercises, demonstrate the topics of trees and distance, matchings and factors, connectivity and paths, graph coloring, edges and cycles, and planar graphs.
