An Introduction to the Philosophy of Language (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy)

'Cucker [has] produced a pot au feu, an eclectic catch-all. There is much that can be learned from [his] presentation of the marriage of mathematics and art. I consider Manifold Mirrors Arcimboldesque in that it is an assemblage of many basic mathematical ideas and constructs, [adding] up to ... well, to a unique work.' Philip J. Davis, SIAM News

'... there is certainly something new to be discovered for every reader. The book grew out of a course, and so it is obviously possible to extract some interesting lectures from the material that is presented.' The European Mathematical Society (euro-math-soc.eu)

'The merits of this big, ambitious book greatly exceed its deficiencies. Felipe Cucker's immense learning, and his often densely technical presentation of mathematical complexities, are balanced by a pervasive lightness of tone and by a flair for offbeat allusions that range from Euripides to Busby Berkeley. His book is a joy for the eye and a feast for the mind.' Hardy Grant, MAA Reviews

'Mathematical material is complete and rigorous, at an upper-division undergraduate level, with statements of relevant theorems and their proofs ... Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and faculty.' C. A. Gorini, Choice

'This is an impressive and ambitious book and is one well-worth taking time to work through.' Richard Talbot, Nexus Network Journal
