Review of the hardback: ' … this elegant and very sophisticated work is directed to those mathematicians and theoretical physicists with special interest in the logical consistency and mathematical content of the physical principles of quantum mechanics … It is well-referenced, and the reader who perseveres in studying the book will be amply rewarded'.
