Werner Abraham 'Michael Hegarty's book, Modality and Propositional Attitudes, provides an up-to-date and fully detailed account of the semantics of modality, providing new demonstration in support of the view argued for by Kratzer (1981, 1991) that modal statements involve quantification over possible worlds, as well as considering recent developments and answers to criticism illustrated in Kratzer (2012).'
