Review
Although the Principia is far from comprehensive, Whitehead and Russell's method and program captivate their readers. The audacity to hope to formalize all of mathematics logically was inspirational and helped to give great boosts to math and logical philosophy. Though Gödel proved in 1931 that any such program is doomed to incompleteness, the tools found in and developed from the three volumes helped build the atomic bomb and the Internet. It may not be summer-vacation reading (for most), but Principia Mathematica will reward the dedicated student with a deeper understanding of how we got here. --Rob Lightner

IMPORTANT INFO FOR US-CUSTOMERS: Due to the new tariffs for imports from the EU to the USA, PostNL and DHL have temporarily suspended shipment of parcels to the USA. Therefore we cannot accept orders from US-customers at this moment. We hope that this problem will be solved soon.
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
Otherwise, relatively small books (e.g. paperbacks with approx. 250 pages and/or less weight than 500 grams) will be charged with a much lower postage rate.
