Saturated Model Theory

In fond memory of his former intemperate self, Sacks (Harvard U.) retains the sweeping assertions and dubious jokes from the 1972 edition, but silently tidies up the many typographical and some mathematical messes. The central question remains whether a recursion theorist dares write a book on model theory; the central answer is 200 pages long. The topics include similarity types of structures, elementary equivalence, countability proviso with exceptions, prime extensions of well-ordered chains, and the differential closure.
