The Message of the Atoms
by Kalervo V. Laurikainen
Message of the Atoms presents insights into the underlying philosophy of the prime formulators of quantum mechanics, as expressed in the famous Copenhagen interpretation. Using Pauli's as the chief guide and reference, the book explores the postulate that physics and psychology must be understood as complementary sciences to be able to describe essential features of reality.
The Large, the Small and the Human Mind
by Roger Penrose
In The Emperor's New Mind (1989) and Shadows of the Mind (1994), Roger Penrose expounded some original and provocative ideas about the large-scale world of the physics of the Universe, the small-scale world of quantum physics, and the physics of the mind. In this book, he presents a masterful summary of the complex ideas presented in those works. He also highlights those areas of research where he perceives there are major unsolved problems that strike at the heart of our understanding of the laws of physics. He goes on to propose that we can solve these flawed theories with a new type of physics, which, he says, is also relevant to the study of the brain and consciousness. A lively debate follows where three well-known experts, Abner Shimony, Nancy Cartwright, and Stephen Hawking, present their own distinctive views of Penrose's position. Dr. Penrose gets the last word in a response to his critics. This book is a gentle and at times amusing introduction to some of the most exciting concepts in modern physics. It is also a manifesto for how physics might develop in the twenty-first century, and will be eagerly lapped up by science buffs.
Quantum Physics
by Alastair I.M. Rae
Albert Einstein's celebrated remark that God does not play dice was his response to a set of new scientific ideas now known as quantum physics. These theories threatened the ordered determinism of the Newtonian universe, presenting the radical challenge of an unstable world disturbed by our very attempts to measure or observe it. Quantum physics introduces the alarming possibilities that the observer's mind is the only reality, or that there may be parallel universes. Alternatively, its contradictions may suggest that despite its manifest successes, quantum physics still leaves us in need of a further revolution in thought and the final complete theory of the physical universe. Alastair Rae's introductory exploration has been hailed as a masterpiece of clarity, and offers an engaging guide to the theories offered.
From Physics to Metaphysics
by Michael Redhead
The book is drawn from the Tarner lectures delivered in Cambridge in 1993. It deals with the ultimate nature of reality, and how this is revealed by modern physical theories such as relativity and quantum theory. The author defends the objectivity and rationality of science against the views of relativists and social constructionists. He claims that modern physics gives us a tentative and fallible, but nevertheless rational, approach to the nature of physical reality. He examines the role of subjectivity in science in the fields of relativity theory, statistical mechanics and quantum theory, and rejects recent claims of an essential role for human consciousness in physics. Finally, he considers prospects for a Theory of Everything and how to assess scientific progress. This book will engage popular science readers as well as students and professionals.

They suggest that consciousness can no longer be divorced from the problem of the way science operates.
