Dear members of this list,
I published a book in the philosophy of physics last year which may be of interest to many of you (some of you figure in my aknowledgments). I attach the cover, together with the Preface and Table of Contents. The chapters are available for purchase individually, but I’d be glad to email anyone chapters they are interested in (in the form of a pdf of a page-proof of the chapter).
Granted, it’s a bit self-promoting, but Mike said it was okay to share with you, and I have had no help from the publishers in promoting it.
Cheers,
Ric Arthur
