Synopsis:

The Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a multi-volume work covering all major areas of application of logic to theoretical computer science. The Handbook comprises six volumes. Each volume contains five or six chapters, giving an in-depth overview of one of the major topics in the field. It is the result of many years of co-operative effort by some of the most eminent frontline researchers in the area. It will no doubt be the standard reference work in logic and theoretical computer science for years to come - essential reading for all those interested in theoretical computer science and logic. volumes cover the background to the subject in terms of mathematical and computational structures. The authors are chosen on an international basis and are leaders in the fields covered. The Handbook is a closely coordinated work which has been under development for the past five years.

Review: `It is a comprehensive, authoritative, and advanced collection of chapters, by leading authorities in the fields covered.'Personal Computer World

`...the Handbook of Logic in Computer Science is a major work of scientific publishing.'`...a highly detailed authoritative and illuminating exposition of the field, and at the same time a challenging source of ideas for further exploration.'`...will illuminate the working lives of all those engaged in conducting and supervising research in computing sciences both now and in the future.'Time Higher Education Supplement

'a major work of scientific publishing ... a highly detailed, authoritative and illuminating exposition of the field, and at the same time a challenging source of ideas for further exploration ... we are much indebted to the editors, authors and all those others who have worked for so many years on this substantial project.'Times Higher Education Suplement
