Jeffrey Barrett presents the most comprehensive study yet of a
problem that has puzzled physicists and philosophers since the
1930s. The standard theory of quantum mechanics is in one sense the
most successful physical theory ever, predicting the behaviour of
the basic constituents of all physical things; no other theory has
ever made such accurate empirical predictions. However, if one
tries to understand the theory as providing a complete and accurate
framework for the description of the behaviour of all physical
interactions, it becomes evident that the theory is ambiguous, or
even logically inconsistent. The most notable attempt to formulate
the theory so as to deal with this problem, the quantum measurement
problem, was initiated by Hugh Everett III in the 1950s. Barrett
gives a careful and challenging examination and evaluation of the
work of Everett and those who have followed him. His informal
approach, minimizing technicality, will make the book accessible
and illuminating for philosophers and physicists alike. Anyone
interested in the interpretation of quantum mechanics should read
it.
