Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 9x6x1; [Interesting provenance, from the library and signed by George Armitage Miller, noted psychologist and cognitive scientist. ] Hardcover and dust jacket. Minimal tears to jacket. Dust jacket in protective mylar cover. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. 1st edition. xv, 359 p., 22 cm. "This is an introduction to abstract set theory and to various axiomatic systematizations of the subject. Preservation of neutrality among those systems poses, in such an introduction, a dilemma. If the account begins with a panorama of systems, the reader is unprepared to compare them appreciatively. It if begins rather with an unsystematized exposition of the subject matter, it bogs down in paradox." George A. Miller, one of the founders of cognitive psychology, was a pioneer who recognized that the human mind can be understood using an information-processing model. His insights helped move psychological research beyond behaviorist methods that dominated the field through the 1950s. In 1991, he was awarded the National Medal of Science for his significant contributions to our understanding of the human mind.
