Logic from Russell to Church, Volume 5 (Hardcover, 5th edition)

This volume is number five in the 11-volume "Handbook of the History of Logic." It covers the first 50 years of the development of mathematical logic in the 20th century, and concentrates on the achievements of the great names of the period--Russell, Post, Godel, Tarski, Church, and the like. This was the period in which mathematical logic gave mature expression to its four main parts: set theory, model theory, proof theory and recursion theory. Collectively, this work ranks as one of the greatest achievements of our intellectual history. Written by leading researchers in the field, both this volume and the Handbook as a whole are definitive reference tools for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in the history of logic, the history of philosophy, and any discipline, such as mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence, for whom the historical background of his or her work is a salient consideration.
The entire range of modal logic is covered
Serves as a singular contribution to the intellectual history of the 20th century
Contains the latest scholarly discoveries and interpretative insights"
