A R Marlow (ed) 1978 New York: Academic x + 372 pp price £14.30 This book contains papers presented at a conference held in New Orleans in June 1977, at which physicists and mathematicians came together to discuss the foundations of quantum mechanics. Some of the very mathematical articles will be of interest only to specialists, but others clearly show a real effort to communicate across the disciplinary barrier.

Henry Margenau 1978 Dordrecht, Holland: D Reidel xxxvii + 399 pp price $36.50 Such is the pace of research in modern theoretical physics that the majority of workers rarely, if ever, stop and contemplate the philosophical and conceptual implications of their endeavours. Nevertheless, even the most pragmatic of physicists should find something of interest in this delightful book.
