Car@s: também parabenizo o Chico e a "Lógica no Avião" pela publicação aberta de "An Introduction to Partially Ordered Structures and Sheaves", 2020.
No meu prefácio à nova edição conto um pouco da história deste livro, e da tentativa da (agora extinta) editora Polimetrica para se erguer frente às gigantes editoriais. Abraços, W. ============== Editorial Preface I am very glad for the opportunity to write an editorial preface to “An In-troduction to Partially Ordered Structures and Sheaves” by Francisco Miraglia.This book with 45 chapters and almost 500 pages of exciting mathematics, featur-ing partially ordered structures, category theory, spectral spaces, presheaves over topological spaces, change of base and characteristic maps, originated in graduate courses given by the author, as a visiting scholar at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University, in the academic year 90/91. It was first published by Poli-metrica International Scientific Publisher in January 2009, where I was acting asa chief editor. I then had the privilege of writing a more careful, perhaps a bit poetic, Foreword to the book. I will not repeat it here, but instead register somefacts. Polimetrica was founded by Giandomenico de Sica in Monza, Italy, with the intention of bringing quality books to light. In my short life as an editor atPolimerica, I had the chance to publish, besides Miraglia’s book, also “The MagicGarden of George B And Other Logic Puzzles” by Raymond Smullyan in 2007,which was reprinted by World Scientific in 2015. Polimetrica did publish several books, but unfortunately could not resist the pressure of the editorial market.I would like to applaud the excellent initiative by the UnB Brasilia groupof “Lógica no Aviãoo” (LnA) in the person of Rodrigo Freire (editor), AlexandreCosta-Leite, Edgar Almeida and Gustavo Schmidt in republishing this book. LnAis a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of high quality work in logic and philosophy, and will make this extraordinary book free for all future generations. I am proud to have contributed to it.
