Best for teachers, students, and readers looking for stronger mathematical understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I know of no comparably comprehensive treatment of the history of this important period in modern logic. There is a large body of historical literature that is in need of just the kind of synthesis and masterly overview that this work provides. Though most people recognize mathematics as a principal motivating force behind the development of modern logic, the influences on and from mathematics have been largely ignored or minimized. \u003ci\u003eThe Search for Mathematical Roots\u003c\/i\u003e acts as a guide through that challenging mathematical thicket.\"\u003cb\u003e--Albert C.
