    The aim of this volume is to present developments in semantics and logics of computation in a way that is accessible to graduate students. The book is based on a summer school at the Isaac Newton Institute and consists of a sequence of linked lecture courses by international authorities in the area. The whole set has been edited to form a coherent introduction to these topics, most of which have not been presented pedagogically before.

    • A good source for teaching material on many topics
    • Contributors are all world authorities
    • Planned and coherent set of courses

    Reviews & endorsements

    Review of the hardback: '… the book gives an attractive thematic overview of recent advances in the semantics and logics of computation. Students and researchers alike will find the book valuable as a reference and a pleasure to read.' The Computer Journal
