JOHN S BELL ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS
edited by M Bell (CERN), K Gottfried (Cornell University) & M Veltman (University of Michigan)
This book is the most complete collection of John S Bell's research papers, review articles and lecture notes on the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of this material has hitherto been difficult to access. The book also appears in a paperback edition, aimed at students and young researchers.
This volume will be very useful to researchers in the foundations and applications of quantum mechanics.
