NICKEL, B., Between Logic and the World. An Integrated Theory of Generics. Oxford University Press, 2016. 286p. Hardback. Nickel's ability to thoughtfully connect issues in compositional semantics with those in philosophy of language and metaphysics makes the book an exciting read, and one to be recommended to any reader interested in those interfaces, not solely those interested in generics. Of course, for anybody interested in generics and genericity, the book is essential and insightful reading. ... Nickel's view is the clearest and most comprehensive extant defence of optimism about the metaphysics of genericity. Anybody with an interest in that project must read Between Logic and the World, and all subsequent discussion of metaphysical genericity should start with his work. Whether or not one endorses Nickel's views, his discussion contains a multitude of important insights about generics and genericity.
