Reviews
From the reviews: The book intends to present recent work in the history, philosophy, and application of quantum concepts in a manner accessible by non-specialists. ! I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone with a background in quantum mechanics who wants a broader overview ! . Reading the book has filled in some blanks in my history/philosophy/physics education, just as I expected. (Jan-A...ke Larsson, Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, Vol. 39, 2008) This pedagogical work is a collection of informative articles on the history, philosophy, and practice of quantum mechanics. ! Evans and Thorndike have published a very informative and insightful book for anyone interested in the history, philosophy, and practice of quantum mechanics. (Howard E.
