This book resulted from the AMS Special Session on nonstandard models of arithmetic and set theory held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore (MD). It opens with an essay from Haim Gaifman probing the concept of nonstandardness in mathematics and provides a fascinating mix of historical and philosophical insights into the nature of nonstandard mathematical structures.
