(AM-6), Volume 6, will be forthcoming.

    A special feature of the work is the wealth of historical and legendary material showing the evolution of science and its often surprising sources. Also of special interest is the author's path-breaking chapter on the contributions of women mathematicians.

    This book, a succinct introduction to the subject by renown mathematician Norman Steenrod, was the first to present the subject systematically.It begins with a general introduction to bundles, including such topics as differentiable manifolds and covering spaces. The author then provides brief surveys of advanced topics, such as homotopy theory and cohomology theory, before using them to study further properties of fibre bundles. The result is a classic and timeless work of great utility that will appeal to serious mathematicians and theoretical physicists alike.

    V. Quine's systematic development of mathematical logic has been widely praised for the new material presented and for the clarity of its exposition. This revised edition, in which the minor inconsistencies observed since its first publication have been eliminated, will be welcomed by all students and teachers in mathematics and philosophy who are seriously concerned with modern logic.Max Black, in Mind, has said of this book, "It will serve the purpose of inculcating, by precept and example, standards of clarity and precision which are, even in formal logic, more often pursued than achieved."
