Reviews

From the reviews: "This is a valuable anthology of invited papers about the role of alternative logics in science, especially physics. … this is a worthwhile book, especially for those interested in ‘the logic’ of quantum theory." (Dr. J.N. Butterfield, Contemporary Physics Vol. 46 (1), January – February, 2005) "Alternative Logics is a panoramic overview of several logics, with an emphasis on the question whether science needs them. … A physics library could take pride in having a copy of Alternative Logics on its shelves." (F. A. Muller, Europhysics News, Vol. 36 (1), 2005)
