Abstract
This is a very important theorem since it shows that Peano Arithmetic cannot do everything in Number Theory. However, the statement S is not natural. Paris and Harrington came up with a natural statement in Ramsey Theory that is not provable in Peano Arithmetic. I have always wanted a clean self-contained treatment of the Paris-Harrington result and why it is not provable in Peano Arithmetic. Is this book that treatment? Yes!
