Reviews

an excellent introductory-level text for graduate students or advanced undergraduates . . . Barrett's book can serve either as an entry point for aspiring researchers or as a vehicle to make the foundations of quantum mechanics accessible to philosophers of all stripes. * Benjamin H. Feintzeig, Philosophy of Science *
