From the INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF PSYCHOLOGY PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENTIFIC METHOD series. Bound in the original dark green cloth lettered in gold on the spine. This is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. But please check our inventory for several others that do. Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century. For more on Church's contributions see items 250 251 321 394 and 533 in Hook and Norman's ORIGINS OF CYBERSPACE A LIBRARY ON THE HISTORY OF COMPUTING. From Introduction: "In the course of this study I shall expound and criticize the theories and methods of Logical Positivism in an order of presentation which seems best suited to represent them with utmost fairness. I shall present the logical foundation of Positivism first. Then the applications of the method of analysis to mathematics and natural science will follow. Next I shall treat of the elimination of metaphysics and the consequence of this. All of this will be preparatory to the consideration of a specific case of positivistic analysis which presents a theory of knowledge free from metaphysics. This is the LOGISCHER AUFBAU DER WELT of Rudolf Carnap. Then I shall present the doctrine of Physicalism as a separate philosophical system. The study will be concluded by a theory of language which seems to me to overcome the difficulties of both Logical Positivism and Radical Physicalism." . First Edition. Hardcover.

Per Wikipedia Naomi Mary Margaret Mitchison Baroness Mitchison Cbe Née Haldane; 1897 - 1999 Was A Scottish Novelist And Poet. Often Called A Doyenne Of Scottish Literature She Wrote More Than 90 Books Of Historical And Science Fiction Travel Writing And Autobiography. Her Husband Dick Mitchison's Life Peerage In 1964 Entitled Her To Call Herself Lady Mitchison But She Never Did. Her 1931 Work The Corn King And The Spring Queen Is Seen By Some As The Prime 20Th-Century Historical Novel. The Haldanes Were Known For Their Self-Styled Domestic Experiments. She And Her Brother John Started Investigating Mendelian Genetics In 1908. They Initially Used Guinea Pigs As Experimental Models But Changed To Mice As They Were More Convenient To Handle. Their Findings Were Published As "Reduplication In Mice" In 1915. This Was In Fact The First Demonstration Of Genetic Linkage In Mammals. Mitchison Was A Prolific Writer Of More Than 90 Books In Her Lifetime Across A Multitude Of Styles And Genres. These Include Historical Novels Such As Her First Novel The Conquered 1923 Set In Gaul In The 1St Century Bce During The Gallic Wars Of Julius Caesar And Her Second Novel Cloud Cuckoo Land 1925 Set In 5Th-Century Bce Ancient Greece During The Peloponnesian War.In 1932 Mitchison Was Commissioned By Victor Gollancz To Edit A Guide To The Modern World For Children. Mitchison's Book An Outline For Boys And Girls And Their Parents Included Several Distinguished Contributors Including W. H. Auden Richard Hughes Gerald Heard And Olaf Stapledon. On Publication An Outline Was Praised By The Times Literary Supplement The New Statesman And The London Mercury. However Several Clergymen Including The Archbishop Of York Were Angered By The Book's Lack Of Emphasis On Christianity While Other Right-Wing Authors Objected To A Perceived Sympathy With The Soviet Union. The Conservative Writer Arnold Lunn Wrote A Lengthy Attack On The Book In The English Review10 Which Contributed To Its Commercial Failure. Undoubtedly Her Most Controversial Work We Have Been Warned Was Published In 1935 Based On A Journey To The Soviet Union. In It She Explored Sexual Behaviour Including Rape And Abortion. The Book Was Rejected By Various Publishers And Ultimately Censored. She Approached First Her Friend Victor Gollancz Who Flatly Turned Her Down Observing That "Publication Of The Book Would Cause A Real Outcry." The Book Was Extensively Rewritten To Make It More Acceptable To Publishers And Was Still Subject To Censorship. On Publication It Was Universally Despised For Its Depiction Of Rape Free Love And Abortion That "Alienated Readers On The Left And Horrified Those On The Political Right." In 2005 Files From The National Archives Revealed That The British Government Had Considered Prosecuting The Publishers Of We Have Been Warned But Ultimately Decided Not To Do So. Mitchison Like Her Brother Was A Committed Socialist In The 1930S. She Visited The Soviet Union In 1932 As Part Of A Fabian Society Group And Expressed Some Misgivings About The Direction Of Soviet Society. An Active Anti-Fascist Mitchison Travelled To Austria Where She Undertook The Risky Task Of Smuggling Documents And Left-Wing Refugees Out Of The Country. She Stood Unsuccessfully As A Labour Party Candidate For The Scottish Universities In 1935 At A Time When Universities Were Still Allowed To Elect Mps. Eventually As Her Political Candidacy And Her Pro-Left Writings Had Failed She Gradually Became Disenchanted With The Left. At That Time She Became Politically Attracted To Scottish Nationalism. She Was Also A Good Friend Of The Writer J. R. R. Tolkien And One Of The Proof Readers Of The Lord Of The Rings. <br/> <br/> Victor Gollancz hardcover
