Computability Theory (Chapman Hall/CRC Mathematics Series)

"A very nice volume indeed. Although primarily a textbook, it lives up to the author's aim to have 'plenty here to interest and inform everyone, from the beginner to the expert.' Cooper writes in an informal style, emphasizing the ideas underlying the techniques. All the standard topics and classic results are here. Students will find useful pointers to the literature and an abundance of exercises woven into the text." - Zentralblatt MATH, 1041 "[It] provides not only a reference repository of well-crafted proofs or proof-outlines for a large number of basic and beyond-basic facts in several areas of computability theory, but can also serve well as the textual basis for a course on the subject" - Mathematical Reviews, 2005h
