Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This festschrift is dedicated to Boris Trakhtenbrot on the occasion of his 85th birthday. ... The volume covers a wide variety of papers on logic and the foundations of theoretical computer science, written by top people in the field. It is certainly worth acquiring for a library." (K. Lodaya, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009)
