Product Description
The handbook is divided into four parts: model theory, set theory, recursion theory and proof theory. Each of the four parts begins with a short guide to the chapters that follow. Each chapter is written for non-specialists in the field in question. Mathematicians will find that this book provides them with a unique opportunity to apprise themselves of developments in areas other than their own.

 One masterpiece August 10, 2007

One amazing encyclopedic book about mathematical logic (is there another type of logic?). One basic book if you want to know more about this theme after the typical pre-graduate mathematical logic course of any university. Difficult but essential.
 Classics but difficult June 18, 2001

The handbook is a heavy book that is definitely not for beginners. However, it is certainly a classic. It is a large scope book, which cover different area such as model theory, set theory, recursion theory, proof theory and constructive mathematics. It can be useful for student of logic and professionals. The articles in the handbook covering different areas of mathematical logic till the 70's. They differ in complexity and style. Among them it is worth mentioning Smorynski's article about Goedel's incompleteness theorems and the famous result of Paris & Harrington. In short, if you are seriously interested in Logic - buy it. Just remember that it is updated to the end of the 70's.
 Don't buy it blind July 12, 2005

The chapters are very uneven, as you might expect with 34 authors. A couple are well written but most are poor -- too terse, little context, poor writing. Better to look in an appropriate graduate text.
