520    The book is meant to serve two purposes. The first and 
       more obvious one is to present state of the art results in
       algebraic research into residuated structures related to 
       substructural logics. The second, less obvious but equally
       important, is to provide a reasonably gentle introduction 
       to algebraic logic. At the beginning, the second objective
       is predominant. Thus, in the first few chapters the reader
       will find a primer of universal algebra for logicians, a 
       crash course in nonclassical logics for algebraists, an 
       introduction to residuated structures, an outline of 
       Gentzen-style calculi as well as some titbits of proof 
       theory - the celebrated Hauptsatz, or cut elimination 
       theorem, among them. These lead naturally to a discussion 
       of interconnections between logic and algebra, where we 
       try to demonstrate how they form two sides of the same 
       coin. We envisage that the initial chapters could be used 
       as a textbook for a graduate course, perhaps entitled 
       Algebra and Substructural Logics. As the book progresses 
       the first objective gains predominance over the second. 
       Although the precise point of equilibrium would be 
       difficult to specify, it is safe to say that we enter the 
       technical part with the discussion of various completions 
       of residuated structures. These include Dedekind-McNeille 
       completions and canonical extensions. Completions are used
       later in investigating several finiteness properties such 
       as the finite model property, generation of varieties by 
       their finite members, and finite embeddability. The 
       algebraic analysis of cut elimination that follows, also 
       takes recourse to completions. Decidability of logics, 
       equational and quasi-equational theories comes next, where
       we show how proof theoretical methods like cut elimination
       are preferable for small logics/theories, but semantic 
       tools like Rabin's theorem work better for big ones. Then 
       we turn to Glivenko's theorem, which says that a formula 
       is an intuitionistic tautology if and only if its double 
       negation is a classical one. We generalise it to the 
       substructural setting, identifying for each substructural 
       logic its Glivenko equivalence class with smallest and 
       largest element. This is also where we begin investigating
       lattices of logics and varieties, rather than particular 
       examples. We continue in this vein by presenting a number 
       of results concerning minimal varieties/maximal logics. A 
       typical theorem there says that for some given well-known 
       variety its subvariety lattice has precisely such-and-such
       number of minimal members (where values for such-and-such 
       include, but are not limited to, continuum, countably many
       and two). In the last two chapters we focus on the lattice
       of varieties corresponding to logics without contraction. 
       In one we prove a negative result: that there are no 
       nontrivial splittings in that variety. In the other, we 
       prove a positive one: that semisimple varieties coincide 
       with discriminator ones. Within the second, more technical
       part of the book another transition process may be traced.
       Namely, we begin with logically inclined technicalities 
       and end with algebraically inclined ones. Here, perhaps, 
       algebraic rendering of Glivenko theorems marks the 
       equilibrium point, at least in the sense that finiteness 
       properties, decidability and Glivenko theorems are of 
       clear interest to logicians, whereas semisimplicity and 
       discriminator varieties are universal algebra par 
       exellence. It is for the reader to judge whether we 
       succeeded in weaving these threads into a seamless fabric.
       - Considers both the algebraic and logical perspective 
       within a common framework. - Written by experts in the 
       area. - Easily accessible to graduate students and 
       researchers from other fields. - Results summarized in 
       tables and diagrams to provide an overview of the area. - 
       Useful as a textbook for a course in algebraic logic, with
       exercises and suggested research directions. - Provides a 
       concise introduction to the subject and leads directly to 
       research topics. - The ideas from algebra and logic are 
       developed hand-in-hand and the connections are shown in 
       every level.
