From the reviews: "A general theory of graph transformations ... has been developed. ... It is a very clear exposition of this material, spanning the breadth from underlying mathematics to an applications case study. ... The authors have done a very good job of presenting an area in which many different threads of research have developed in to a general theory ... . The book provides a helpful roadmap to the published research in the area, and a systematic treatment that emphasizes the fundamentals ... ." (Charles J. Colbourn, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1095 (21), 2006)
