Abstract
We take stock of various views and approaches to information, in general. Then we explicate some relationships between logics and information—to provide an explanation (even a justification) for the title of the volume. The multifaceted character of information based logics leads to a bewildering assortment of linkages between the papers in this volume. We highlight touching points between consecutive papers in the rest of the volume.
