Birkhäuser Boston Theory of Finite and Infinite Graphs

Originally published in 1936, "Theorie der endlichen und unendlichen Graphen", by the Hungarian mathematician Denes Koenig, was the first book on graph theory. Now available in English, the book is not only of historical interest, but also provides an introduction to a subject that has become increasingly important in recent years, largely due to its applications to computer science. The additional commentary discusses the background of graph theory and later developments, putting the work in its historical perspective.
