Summary
The English translation differs slightly from the Russian edition of the book in the following. I have rewritten the Introduction, Subsections 2.2, 2.3 and 6.2.2. A number of minor changes have been made throughout the text to eliminate misprints and awkward proofs. Also, the list of references has been extended by the inclusion of articles and monographs devoted to relevant problems of probabilistic combinatorics which have appeared subsequent to publication of the Russian version of the book.
I am greatly indebted to Professor B. Bollobás and Professor V. Vatutin for their help and valuable advice during the preparation of the manuscript.
