Bruno:
Dur to financial considerations I will wait for the fifth edition
to come out.

 I really don't know. My favorite edition is the first one, because  
 there is a nice appendix with a proof of the consistency of arithmetic  
 by transfinite induction, which is less informative than the original  
 proof by Gentzen, but more easy to follow.



   I will take a look at some of the links on Podnieks page.

 This can surely help,
  Only had time for a few links, but they were interesting.

 Regards,

 Bruno

  It is a like the difference between a solitaire video game, and a
  collective video game, where many computational histories cohere and
  glue together. It is still an open problem if that can exist with
  comp, note!
  It is related to the difference between first person, and first  
  person
  plural, which, in both QM and pure comp, are defined by population
  multiplication. If we are both annihilated and both reconstituted in
  washington and Moscow, we can share indeterminacies and even use a
  notion of Dutch Book probabilities.
