Product Description
Review
Outstanding collection of thirty-one survey articles covering in some detail every major area of current research in mathematical logic. Each article is written by a prominent logician specifically for this volume... A very inviting book in which to browse as well as to obtain considerable detail on specific topics, considering the breadth of coverage. The handbook should be welcomed by the entire mathematical community.
American Mathematical Monthly
This book will also serve as a valuable reference work for any course in mathematical logic.

Briefly, this is a magnificent book... there is nothing to compare with it for breadth of coverage... exceedingly high standards of expertise and exposition.
Australasian Journal of Philosophy
...the role of standard logic reference is fulfilled by the present volume... excellent value for money... the standard logic text for the 1980's... The book is certainly a gold-mine of information on modern logic... the only reliable reference in classical logic... deserves the widest possible use...

Classics but difficult, Jun 18 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Mathematical Logic (Paperback)
The handbook is a heavy book that is definitely not for beginners. However, it is certainly a classic. It is a large scope book, which cover different area such as model theory, set theory, recursion theory, proof theory and constructive mathematics. It can be useful for student of logic and professionals. The articles in the handbook covering different areas of mathematical logic till the 70's. They differ in complexity and style. Among them it is worth mentioning Smorynski's article about Gödel's incompleteness theorems and the famous result of Paris & Harrington. In short, if you are seriously interested in Logic - buy it. Just remember that it is updated to the end of the 70's.

Don't buy it blind, July 11 2005
By Nathan Oakes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Mathematical Logic (Paperback)
The chapters are very uneven, as you might expect with 34 authors. A couple are well written but most are poor -- too terse, little context, poor writing. Better to look in an appropriate graduate text.

One masterpiece, Aug 10 2007
By Francisco Martin Leon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook of Mathematical Logic (Paperback)
One amazing encyclopedic book about mathematical logic (is there another type of logic?). One basic book if you want to know more about this theme after the typical pre-graduate mathematical logic course of any university. Difficult but essential.
