“The book is concluded with the most up-to-date references, which complement these topics for the interested reader. This book is well-organized and expansive. … The results are properly motivated with precise, detailed proofs provided. This book is a must-have item for researchers interested in limit theorems as well as for other probability theorists.” (Steve Drekic, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2023)
