《国外数学名著系列（影印版）32：模型论引论》以现代观点介绍模型论，着重强调其在代数学中的应用。前半部分包括模型构造技巧的经典论述，如类型空间，素模型，饱和模型，可数模型，不可辨元等理论及其应用。在书中后半部分，作者首先介绍莫利的范畴性定理，随之讨论稳定性理论，着重论述Ω-稳定性理论。最后，作者举例阐明了赫鲁索夫斯基如何将这些理论运用于丢番图几何。《国外数学名著系列（影印版）32：模型论引论》显著特色之一是包含一些其他入门型教材所未涉及的重要论题，如Ω-稳定群和强极小集的几何学。
　　作者DavidMarker是伊利诺斯大学芝加哥分校的数学教授，主要研究数学逻辑和模型论及其在代数和几何中的应用。《国外数学名著系列（影印版）32：模型论引论》基于作者1998年在数学科学研究所发表的系列演讲。
