✦ Synopsis

The text can serve as an introduction to fundamentals in the respective areas from a residuated-maps perspective and with an eye on coordinatization. The historical notes that are interspersed are also worth mentioning.…The exposition is thorough and all proofs that the reviewer checked were highly polished.…Overall, the book is a well-done introduction from a distinct point of view and with exposure to the author’s research expertise. --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
