Inhaltsangabe

Alfred Tarski, one of the greatest logicians of all time, is widely thought of as 'the man who defined truth'. From the cafes of Warsaw and Vienna to the mountains and deserts of California, this first full length biography places Tarski in the social, intellectual and historical context of his times and presents a frank, vivid picture of a personally and professionally passionate man, interlaced with an account of his major scientific achievements.
