Paul L. Nunez (2010) Brain, Mind, and the Structure of Reality. Oxford University Press. New York.
This is an extraordinarily intelligent (but somewhat irritating) book, dealing with issues of consciousness and quantum physics. Nunez is one of an increasing number of people trying to find sensible ways of dragging biology, neurology, brain, mind, and consciousness into the thoroughly modern world of quantum physics. Only part of it is presented here.
