REVIEWS 327 diversity of topics covered and in the unity of its conception. Any reader interested in the history of modern mathematics, but especially so in the history of algebra and of logic, will find in it a fascinating story and at the same time a profuse source of information and reference. The prospective reader is likely to be unacquainted with the technical details of the issues discussed in one or more parts of the book, and must therefore be ready to invest considerable effort in mastering them. Yet, Sinaceur's explanations are clear and thorough at both the technical and historical levels, and thus the reader's effort will be rewarded.
