Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. With previous owner's name and bookplate, otherwise a VG hardcover first edition, 11th printing copy, gray cloth binding, no DJ. As a retired physicist I still try to keep up and I see lots of recent interest in Bohm's pilot wave theory. Bohm obtained his Ph.D. under J. Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California, Berkeley. Due to his Communist affiliations, he was the subject of a federal government investigation in 1949, prompting him to leave the U.S. Codice articolo 106327

Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. First Edition. Quantum Theory by David Bohm, 5th printing (January 1956) of the original 1951 First Edition. Part of the Prentice Hall Physics Series, edited by Donald H. Menzel, this classic text is a valuable addition to any collection, though its condition makes it more suitable as a reading copy.The book is bound in blueish-gray cloth with gold lettering on the front cover and spine. The spine lettering has faded and is now barely visible. The edges show heavy wear, with the cloth splitting and fraying along the front shoulder, and the spine caps have completely worn off. Additionally, the corners are worn to the point where the underlying boards are exposed. Despite these flaws, the binding remains intact, and the interior pages, aside from a very small blue ink line at the bottom of the front edge of the text block and sparse markings on fewer than five pages, are clean and unmarked.David Bohm's "Quantum Theory" is widely regarded as one of the best expositions of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, penned by one of the most radical and influential theoretical physicists of the last century. Written during his tenure at Princeton before political circumstances led him to leave the United States, Bohm's work emerged during a time when the scientific community was deeply divided over quantum mechanics' foundational concepts. This book seeks to clarify the often ambiguous ideas presented by Bohr and Heisenberg, using the mathematical frameworks of de Broglie and Schroedinger, particularly emphasizing wave mechanics that challenge classical views of reality.Bohm explores the idea that quantum objects and their properties are inherently tied to their interactions, a concept that eventually led to his theory of the 'Implicate Order,' where the universe operates as a fundamentally interconnected whole. His aim was to present quantum theory in a way that doesn't rely solely on abstract mathematics, making the subject accessible to those willing to grapple with its challenging concepts. The book delves into the paradoxes of quantum theory, such as wave-particle duality, where particles can exist both as localized objects and as waves extending across space.While Bohm acknowledges that understanding quantum mechanics requires a shift in our conceptual framework beyond classical mechanics and everyday language, he endeavors to make these ideas comprehensible and engaging. This work is essential for students, researchers, and enthusiasts who wish to explore the deeper implications of quantum theory, offering insights that challenge the more simplified mathematical approaches that have since become the norm in the field.For your peace of mind, the book will be carefully packaged for shipment, with a USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. "Quantum Theory" by David Bohm offers an advanced exploration of quantum mechanics, presenting a qualitative and imaginative formulation beyond classical theory. This hardcover edition, originally published in 1951, is the 11th impression dated June 1964. It is in Good condition without a dust jacket. The matte gray cloth-covered boards feature gold lettering along the spine and front cover, maintaining a classic aesthetic. The covers show moderate wear, with rubbing along the edges, corners, and spine ends. There are small spots where the cloth has worn through at the corners, and a ¼-inch split in the cloth at the head of the rear spine shoulder. The spine caps are indented and worn, and faint spotting is visible along the front edge of the text block. The binding has some give and is slightly gapped at the head of the spine from standing upright on a shelf, though the hinges remain uncracked. There is a half-inch diameter light spot stain to the rear paste-down and rear flyleaf; otherwise, the interior pages are clean and free from mustiness, with mild tanning due to age. Bohm's work is intended for advanced undergraduate students, providing a rigorous yet accessible treatment of quantum mechanics. It covers a wide range of applications in considerable mathematical detail, while also exploring the relationship between quantum and classical concepts. The text offers a deep theoretical foundation for those seeking to understand the philosophical and conceptual implications of quantum theory. David Bohm, a distinguished physicist known for his radical views on quantum mechanics, presents an interpretation of the subject that challenges conventional thinking. His book attempts to clarify the Copenhagen Interpretation, offering a perspective that integrates the ideas of Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Einstein, and de Broglie. Bohm's approach requires a fundamental shift in conceptual understanding, making this work an essential read for those interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics. To ensure safe delivery, the book will be carefully packaged with bubble wrap and placed in a sturdy carton box. A USPS electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Quantum Theory by David Bohm. This sought-after early 3rd printing (September 1952) of the original 1951 First Edition is part of the Prentice Hall Physics Series, edited by Donald H. Menzel. The book is in Good+ condition, making it a valuable addition to any collection, though its condition makes it more suitable as a reading copy.The book is bound in blue cloth with gold lettering on the front cover and spine, which appears to have been protected by a clear varnish that has left a glossy touch to the lettering, preserving it from fading. The edges show light wear from shelf rubbing. Corners and spine caps are lightly bumped, with a hint of fraying to the upper corners. There is light undulation and faint discoloration to the front edge of the text block. A small, light abrasion is visible on the front paste-down (inside the front cover) and the upper corner of the front flyleaf. Despite these flaws, the binding remains intact, and the interior pages are clean and unmarked.David Bohm's *Quantum Theory* provides a comprehensive and accessible exploration of quantum mechanics, written during his tenure at Princeton before political circumstances led him to leave the United States. It clarifies the often-ambiguous ideas of Bohr and Heisenberg, utilizing the mathematical frameworks of de Broglie and Schrödinger with an emphasis on wave mechanics. Bohm challenges classical views of reality, exploring the inherent interconnectedness of quantum objects and their properties through interactions.The book introduces readers to Bohm's revolutionary thinking, including the groundwork for his later development of the 'Implicate Order' theory, where the universe is fundamentally interconnected. It tackles paradoxes such as wave-particle duality and makes the abstract concepts of quantum mechanics engaging and comprehensible, while also presenting the foundational shifts required to move beyond classical frameworks.Essential for students, researchers, and enthusiasts, Bohm's work offers an in-depth perspective on quantum mechanics' implications, going beyond simplified mathematical approaches to address the conceptual foundations and mysteries of the quantum world.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment, ensuring protection during transit.
