This text takes advantage of recent developments in the theory of path integration to provide an improved treatment of quantization of systems that either have no constraints or instead involve constraints with demonstratively improved procedures.

From the reviews: "This book is about the formulation and methodology associated with functional integration. ... The present book of Klauder will be quite helpful for theoretical physicists willing to learn the main classical issues and difficulties of functional integration. Mathematicians and, in particular, probabilists should appreciate seeing how some of 'their tools' are used in quantum physics." (Jean-Claude Zambrini, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 c)
