This is a magnificent book! Its purpose is to describe in considerable detail a variety of techniques used by probabilists in the investigation of problems concerning Brownian motion. The great strength of Revuz and Yor is the enormous variety of calculations carried out both in the main text and also (by implication) in the exercises. ... This is THE book for a capable graduate student starting out on research in probability: the effect of working through it is as if the authors are sitting beside one, enthusiastically explaining the theory, presenting further developments as exercises, and throwing out challenging remarks about areas awaiting further research..." Bull.L.M.S. 24, 4 (1992) From the reviews of the third edition: "The authors have revised the second edition of their fundamental and impressive monograph on Brownian motion and continuous martingales ... . The presentation of this book is unique in the sense that a concise and well-written text is complemented by a long series of detailed exercises. ... This third edition contains some additional exercises related to recent advances in the subject. ... is a valuable update of this basic reference book, which has been very helpful for researchers and students ... ."
