"This book presents an account of stable convergence and stable limit theorems which can serve as an introduction to the area. ... The book is a big account of all major stable limit theorems which have been established in the last 50 years or so." (Nikolai N. Leonenko, zbMATH 1356.60004, 2017) "The present book represents a comprehensive account of the theory of stable convergence. The theory is illustrated by a number of examples and applied to a variety of limit theorems. ... The book is well written, and the concepts are clearly explained. I enjoyed reading it because of both the contents and the authors' attractive style of presentation. ... I concur with this and think that the book will appeal to the student as much as to the specialist." (Alexander Iksanov, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2016)
