This ERGEBNISSE volume deals with the theory of the minimal description of real constructible sets. It gives a comprehensive state-of-the-art report with many results published for the first time in book form. The authors tried to keep the presentation as self-contained a possible. The book contains numerous examples, historical notes and 63 figures.
