The book presents some fundamental theorems which help to prove or disprove the expressiveness completeness of a temporal logic. Although the book is focused mainly on the authors' research, the breadth of their research allows them to cover a lot of interesting material ... a very comprehensive study of temporal logics, their expressiveness and axiomatization ... it is very thorough and presents the subjects of its focus in great depth. It can point practitioners of this field to existing results and thus is recommended as a good research reference.
