 Someone had to do it! May 9, 2008

Genaro Auletta put together a remarkable volume which, to my mind, is the most complete and useful review of all the work, theoretical and experimental, pure and applied, speculative and skeptical on the subject of the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics over the past 50 years! The many obvious faults of this work, namely the awkward english and the lack of a competent revision manifest in the abundance of inexcusable typos (Como, the name of the beautiful lake in northern Italy which witnessed the birth of Complementarity, is spelled Come!), do not deter from the magnificence of the accomplishment crystalized in these pages. Nowhere else short of a library can one find all the information here gathered. That alone is worth the price. The other point of note is that Auletta manages to convey the closest thing to a fair-and-balanced account of this highly polarized field where doctrinary proclivities have prevailed as rule over clear headed analysis. I can't think of any other book which I would rather recommend for someone seriously interested in the subject.
