This monograph covers the recent major advances in various areas of set theory. .From the reviews:."One of the classical textbooks and reference books in set theory.The present '˜Third Millennium' edition.is a whole new book. In three parts the author offers us what in his view every young set theorist should learn and master.This well-written book promises to influence the next generation of set theorists, much as its predecessor has done." --MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS.
