THE FRONTIERS COLLECTION
THE FRONTIERS COLLECTION
Series Editors:
A.C. Elitzur L. Mersini-Houghton M.A. Schlosshauer M.P. Silverman R. Vaas H.D. Zeh
The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of
modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research
monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also
to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications
and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a
fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to
encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial
issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to
entropy, consciousness and complex systems – the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers
to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.
