Descriptive Set Theory
by Yiannis N. Moschovakis - American Mathematical Society
This monograph develops Descriptive Set Theory from its classical roots to the modern 'effective' theory. The book emphasizes the foundations of the subject, and it sets the stage for the dramatic results established since the 1980s.
