Reviews

'The Logic of Entailment and Its History by Edwin Mares is interesting, erudite, and original. It seamlessly weaves together contemporary research in logic with its history. The result is a novel, accessible take on entailment and its use in our scientific theories.' Zach Weber, University of Otago
