"Maudlin's book is outstanding, and is particularly remarkable forthree central achievements: the clearest exposition of Bell'stheorem I know of; a careful discussion of the (in)compatibilitybetween the implications of that theorem and relativity; and astutesuggestions for how one could deal with this problem. Maudlin is aprofessional philosopher who writes on this most fundamental issueof physics in a way that is far clearer than the work of mostphysicists.„
--Jean Bricmont, University of Louvain“An absolutely indispensible read for anyone who wants tounderstand the problem of „making sense“ of quantum mechanics. Itis beautifully written and profoundly exciting.„
--Hilary Putnam, Harvard University
“The publication of the third edition of Tim Maudlin's classicbook undoubtedly represents a most notable event. The richness anddepth of the previous editions has been enhanced by thepresentation of very recent and important investigation and debateconcerning the most crucial problem of modern physics, i. e. thecompatibility of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. Reading thischallenging and extremely deep book is a must for all peopleinterested in the conceptual foundations of science.„
--GianCarlo Ghirardi, Professor Emeritus, University ofTrieste
