English. This is particularly so in the early part of the book. When making a proposal, they often examine several possibilities which are all plausible in their framework. This should be welcomed by readers with only limited exposure to formal semantics. The authors address methodological issues at several points, since their main concern is the presentation of a fragment. Nevertheless, it would have been useful for the authors to situate their work more explicitly by indicating what a boolean emphasis has added to semantics, what areas are likely to benefit from a similar approach, and what problems will require new methods. This book shows that the algebraic approach offers much of interest to semantics.
