Rezensionen

"This book contains a series of studies devoted to so-called containment logics. ... It is readable and contains a lot of interesting material for logicians and philosophers interested in non-classical logics in general, and particularly in their semantic characterization." (Andrzej B. Indrzejczak, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)
