Abstract
We present a short overview of saturation physics followed by a summary of the recent progress in our understanding of nonlinear small- evolution. Topics include McLerran-Venugopalan model, Glauber-Mueller approximation, nonlinear BK/JIMWLK evolution equations, along with the running-coupling and NLO corrections to these equations. We conclude with selected topics in saturation phenomenology.
