Causality and Chance in Modern Physics [Hardcover]

In this classic, David Bohm was the first to offer us his causal interpretation of the quantum theory. Causality and Chance in Modern Physics continues to make possible further insight into the meaning of the quantum theory and to suggest ways of extending the theory into new directions.Here Bohm offers his causal interpretation of the quantum theory.'For those who know Bohm's work only through Wholeness and the Implicate Order then this is a fine primer. For those who want a well written, authoritative and stimulating understanding of the subject matter of causality and quantum physics then the reappearance of this work will provide them with the best.' - Michael Shallis, New Scientist
