	Quantifiers and cognition: logical and computational perspectives Szymanik J., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2016. 211 pp. Type: Book (978-3-319287-47-8) A formal study of the problem of why some natural language sentences are harder to understand than others is the objective of this book. In that, it claims to be a highly interdisciplinary approach to language complexity. And, in terms...

	Probability logics: probability-based formalization of uncertain reasoning Ognjanović Z., Rašković M., Marković Z., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2016. 215 pp. Type: Book (978-3-319470-11-5) Combinations of probability and logic have been a topic of interest since the seminal work of Boole [1], and they have always occupied a place of relevance in foundational studies of probability. However, the direction of development h...

	Introduction to logic (3rd ed.) Genesereth M., Kao E., Morgan & Claypool Publishers, San Rafael, CA, 2016. 178 pp. Type: Book (978-1-627056-36-6) This book is an introductory course on formal logic at a college level. Although its authors are computer scientists, it is aimed at a broad audience, only requiring high school set theory and algebra....

	Fifty years of fuzzy logic and its applications Tamir D., Rishe N., Kandel A., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2015. 684 pp. Type: Book (978-3-319196-82-4) This collection of papers celebrates 50 years since the publication of Zadeh’s seminal paper creating the field of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic [1]. This is certainly not an introductory book on the field of fuzzy logic, as it ...

	The ordering principle in a fragment of approximate counting Atserias A., Thapen N. ACM Transactions on Computational Logic 15(4): 1-11, 2014. Type: Article This paper solves an open problem in the field of bounded arithmetic. Bounded arithmetic is an area developed for the logical analysis of the expressive properties of the polynomial hierarchy in theoretical computer science [1]. Fragme...
