Reviews

"""Looks like an attractive text, pitched at an appropriate level and with good exercises. I have adopted it.""--A.M. Ungar, SUNY at Albany ""An excellent introduction to elementary logic. Rigorous yet accessible to the superior undergraduate student. The sections on extensions to classical logic are especially appreciated.""--Jan A. Smucker, Hanover College ""Of very real value, especially the final chapter on intuitionism and fuzzy logic--long overdue in introductory texts.""--Patrick Grim, State University of New York at Stony Brook"
