B D'Espagnat New York: Academic Press 1972 pp xiv + 480 price $29·50 The philosophical meaning of quantum mechanics has never been convincingly established. This volume, the proceedings of the Enrico Fermi summer school at Varenna in 1970, consists of articles presenting many different aspects and approaches to the problems, as well as many 'answers' written by distinguished scientists and logicians interested in these questions.
