Uma introdução muito pequenina sobre lógica, mas com uma sacada a mais: em um livro introdutório, com os tópicos esperados, resuminhos e exercícios, ainda assim já aponta para literatura divertida sobre o assunto, colocando alguns problemas históricos interessantes (como a aposta de pascal, a irrealidade do tempo etc, paradoxo de sorites), e introduz conteúdos diversos como lógica fuzzy, teoria da decisão, lógica modal.
Very well written and detailed account of various branches of logic.
