Objects, parts, holes, boundaries, and places are the stuff of our world. Philosophers and mathmaticians have dealt with parts of this spatial structure, using mereology or topology. With some new impetus from computer science, this well-argued and original book proposes a logical view on the whole. -- Johan van Benthem, Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam, and Department of Philosophy, Stanford University This is a lively and original survey of a broad and exciting territory. The scholarship is impeccable, the literature treated is up-to-date and thoroughly addressed, and the authors deal interestingly with cutting-edge problems at the borderlines of philosophy and cognitive science. -- Barry Smith, State University of New York at Buffalo
