'A beautiful textbook on bisimulation and coinduction, some of the most influential and powerful recent concepts in computer science. The volume contains a comprehensive introduction presented in an impressive pedagogical style providing the reader with a pleasant blend of the theory behind the concepts and how to apply them. Furthermore, the book is full of illustrative examples and exercises - a book readily usable for teaching!' Mogens Nielsen, Aarhus University
