This is a competent survey of probability, its interpretations, and its relation to logic. The classical axioms, Carnap's version of logical probability, frequency interpretations, propensity interpretations and subjectivistic interpretations are all treated. Some variations on the classical axiomatization are discussed. Only one section concerns the relation between propositional logic and probability as it has been explored by Adams, Suppes, Leblanc, Nilsson, and others, together with the propagation of probabilities under deduction. The final section briefly discusses probabilities and conditionals. The scope of this treatment is large, and, in consequence, the depth is shallow. It is nevertheless a useful, if imperfectly balanced survey. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0983.03001].
