Prentice-Hall physics series. First published in 1951. In the preface Bohm succinctly describes how quantum theory differs from classical theory, and in phrases which found echo in the writings of biologists and systems theorists as well: he details "the breakdown of an assumption which lies behind much of our customary language and way of thinking; namely, that the world can correctly be analyzed into distinct parts, each having a separate existence, but working together according to exact causal laws to form the whole. Instead, quantum concepts imply that the world acts more like a single indivisible unit, in which even the 'intrinsic' nature of each part (wave or particle) depends to some degree on its relationship to its surroundings. It is only at the microscopic (or quantum) level, however, that the indivisible unity of the variouis parts of the world produces significant effects, so that at the macroscopic (or classical) level, the parts act, to a very high degree of approximation, as if they did have a completely separate existence" (iii-iv).

4011. Thomson, George. The Foreseeable Future. London: Cambridge University Press, 1955, 166pp., very good dust-jacket, some wear to edges, very good gray cloth, $12
Author won Nobel Prize for Physics in 1937. Here he predicts the future of technology in various fields: energy, new materials, transportation, communications, food, biology. His predictions seem accurate enough (size of cities, communications improvements etc.) but lack the boldness of science fiction. He sees incremental improvement, not radical leaps because he holds himself to scientific logic. But what good is talk of cables when you can have satellites and fiber optics. An interesting residue of the war, to Thomson's credit, is his subtle comment on Wernher von Braun "the designer of the V2.".

3856. Wick, David, 1950-. The infamous boundary : seven decades of controversy in quantum physics. with a mathematical appendix by William Farris. Boston: Birkhauser, 1995, xii, 244pp., very good hardcover, $12
"Most physicists today accept quantum mechanics as the basis of their science. But many scientists of high renown over the past seventy years, even Einstein as late as 1955, refused to accept the theory in its entirety. From the time in 1927 when Born and Heisenberg pronounced it as "a complete theory" to as recently as 1989 when Bell charged it with dividing the world of physics, the controversy has bubbled and sometimes boiled over. The author of this book has traced the major line of the argument over those years in a most engaging style with clear descriptions of the concepts and ideas. The book can be read with little or no background in mathematics and physics. It will be of particular interest to people who think about the philosophical underpinnings of science and its historical development.". ISBN 0817637850
