Description
The book will give the reader a flavor of how large deviation theory can help in problems that are not posed directly in terms of large deviations. The reader is assumed to have some familiarity with probability, Markov processes, and interacting particle systems.

Reviews
This book is a good source for advanced graduate students and researchers who wish to learn how large deviations appear in questions of probability and statistical physics that are not directly formulated in such terms, as well as several techniques for proving LDPs in concrete situations." - Max Fathi, Mathematical Reviews
