Mind, Matter and Quantum Mechanics
"Scientists other than quantum physicists often fail to comprehend the enormity of the conceptual change wrought by quantum theory in our basic conception of the nature of matter," writes Henry Stapp. Stapp is a leading quantum physicist who has given par

THE FRONTIERS COLLECTION Se ries Editors: D. Dragoman M. Dragoman A.C. Elitzur M.P. Silverman
J. Tuszynski H.D. Zeh
The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern physics and related disciplines, including philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically Iiterate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating quest ions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. It is intended to encourage scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, time and consciousness - the Frontiers Collection will ins pi re readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.
