The Boolean Model: from Matheron till today

Until the 1970s random sets were only a marginal or exotic part of probability theory. This situation has changed completely since the publication of the fundamental and seminal book by Matheron [43]. This book has laid the fundamentals of the theory of random closed sets, provided the suitable measure-theoretic machinery and offered the fundamental theorems. It also spresented an excellent introduction to the theory of the Boolean model.
