Jan M. Swart is a research fellow at the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague. He has coauthored over forty papers in probability theory with an emphasis on interacting particle systems and is known, among other things, for his work on the Brownian net.

'This handsome volume provides an accessible introduction to one of the gems of modern probability theory. It will be valuable to those seeking a rigorous and well-illustrated account of the foundations and basic properties of Interacting Particle Systems.' Geoffrey Grimmett, University of Cambridge

• Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Continuous-time Markov chains; 3. The mean-field limit; 4. Construction and ergodicity; 5. Monotonicity; 6. Duality; 7. Oriented percolation; Bibliography; Index.
