Lattice Path Combinatorics and Special Counting Sequences

This book endeavors to deepen our understanding of lattice path combinatorics, to explore key types of special sequences, to elucidate their interrelations, and at the same time to advocate the author's interpretation of the "combinatorial spirit".
