Kent and the Napoleonic Wars by Peter Bloomfield

Originally published in 1965. This is a textbook of modern deductive logic, designed for beginners but leading further into the heart of the subject than most other books of the kind.

The fields covered are the Propositional Calculus, the more elementary parts of the Predicate Calculus, and Syllogistic Logic treated from a modern point of view. In each of the systems discussed the main emphases are on Decision Procedures and Axiomatisation, and the material is presented with as much formal rigour as is compatible with clarity of exposition. The techniques used are not only described but given a theoretical justification. Proofs of Consistency, Completeness and Independence are set out in detail. The fundamental characteristics of the various systems studies, and their relations to each other are established by meta-logical proofs, which are used freely in all sections of the book. Exercises are appended to most of the chapters, and answers are provided.

Peter set up the Bloomfield and Associates office in 1982. With an initial focus on small-scale community based efforts, his work has consistently grown into larger scale projects for both the private and public sector. An advocate for the role of the end user as an integral member of the design team, Peter's projects have been published widely and are embraced by the community. His buildings fit comfortably in their context, wear well, and are built on budget. Peter took the design lead for the Wisconsin State Law Library in Madison and the Taft Education Center in Cincinnati.Mark joined Bloomfield & Associates five years ago after completing a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome and teaching in New York. Mark mastery of detail was honed by his years of experience on both large and small projects. His most recent project---Cox Radio in Orlando ---was completed last year on time and on budget. Currently, he is working on a facility for Entercom in Greenville, South Carolina and Cox/WPXI TV in Pittsburgh.Vilma Barr, manager of BPES/Barr Publications & Editorial Services, New York, has over 22 years experience in the creation of over a dozen published books. Her activities include author and co-author, editor, text developer, and coordinator of book design and production. Topics for her book-length projects include architecture and interior design, retail merchandising and store design, lighting, applied and fine art, general business, and written and verbal communications.
