expect this book to become the standard graduate logic text for the new century, based on the enthusiastic reception from students in our course last year. -Doug Cenzer, University of Florida, July 2005
book is the long awaited successor to Shoenfield's book. At last under one cover is all one needs for an advanced introduction to mathematical logic. I will recommend it to all my beginning students. -Gerald Sacks, Harvard University, November 2005
The book develops students' intuition by presenting complex end difficult ideas in the simplest context for which they make sense. Each part of the text contains useful remarks, illustrative examples ond related exercises ... the author's style is quite clear and approachable. No previous experience with logic is presumed, only the maturity and capacity for abstraction. Consequently, this book seems to be ideal to graduate students of both mathematics ond theoretical computer science, as well as to students of philosophy and a large circle of specialists working in the field of mathematical logic. -Branislav Boricic, Zentralblatt MATH, July 2006
Based on the author's more than thirty-five years of teaching experience at the University of Michigan, and nearly twenty years in the writing, this book incorporates what he has leamed about enabling students with varying levels of interest and ability to come to a deep understanding of this beautiful subject. -Peter Fillmore, CMS, February 2007
Based on the author's more than thirty-five years of teaching experience at the University of Michigan, and nearly twenty years in the writing, this book incorporates what he has learned about enabling 'students with varying levels of interest and ability to come to a deep understanding of this beautiful subject.' Among the testimonials from users: At last under one cover is all one needs for an advanced introduction to mathematical logic (Gerald Sacks, Harvard). -Canadian Mathematical Society, February 2007
