This two-volume textbook set presents a systematic treatment of probability from the ground up. It begins with intuitive ideas and gradually develops more sophisticated subjects, such as random walks, martingales, Markov chains, the measure-theoretic foundations of probability theory, weak convergence of probability measures, and the central limit theorem. Numerous detailed examples and exercises are provided throughout. In addition to the thorough presentation of probability, a historical exposition is presented that ...

This two-volume textbook set presents a systematic treatment of probability from the ground up. It begins with intuitive ideas and gradually develops more sophisticated subjects, such as random walks, martingales, Markov chains, the measure-theoretic foundations of probability theory, weak convergence of probability measures, and the central limit theorem. Numerous detailed examples and exercises are provided throughout. In addition to the thorough presentation of probability, a historical exposition is presented that documents how the mathematical theory of probability has developed. The two volumes that compose this set together constitute the third English edition of the author's classic, Probability. The first volume is particularly suitable for a graduate course on probability aimed at mathematics, statistics, or engineering students, and the second volume would be ideal for a graduate course on random process.

Shiryaev's "Probability" is one of the best graduate texts on probability theory. While there are many competitors, I rate this as among the best. (I own many of the competing books, and many of these are also excellent.) I would say Shiryaev's is "the best" but I don't want to sound as if I am exaggerating.
The text is based on measure theory, although the first part does not deal with measure theory.
Why do I like it so much? The second edition is clear, thorough, good selection of problems, written by a leading expert, a good length, reasonably free from typos.
And now, at less than $100, in a well bound hardback, it is much cheaper than when I bought my copy of the first edition.
If you knew everything in this book, you would know a lot about probability.
Check it out from a library and judge it for yourself.
