Title: Boolean algebras obtained by push-out iteration

Abstract. We discuss the notion of push-out in the category of Boolean algebras, and we describe a method of constructing Boolean algebras by transfinite iterative push-outs. Under CH and in a model obtained by adding \(\aleph_2\) Cohen reals to a model of CH, \(P(\omega)/fin\) is such an algebra.
