Reviews

<p>From the reviews: <p><p> This book is a homage to Jeffery Bub, with twelve contributions from colleagues and friends philosophers, physicists and mathematicians working in the foundations and philosophy of modern physics. this book holds something of interest for philosophers and physicists alike who are interested in the philosophical problems of modern physics. The expositions are generally of high quality, and the book makes for very interesting and, in places even entertaining reading.
