Jeffrey Bub received his PhD in mathematical physics from the University of London, UK, in 1966, where he studied physics with David Bohm at Birkbeck College and took part in Karl Popper's seminar in philosophy of science at the London School of Economics, UK. His first book, The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (Reidel, 1974), was influential in developing the concept of quantum logic. His second book, 'Interpreting the "Quantum World"' (CUP, 1997; revised paperback edition, 1999), won the prestigious Lakatos Award in 1998. He is currently a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA.

Ultimately, a physicist's universe is mathematical: you can't get at it through intuition alone ... It is a theme repeated in the extraordinary Bananaworld, in which Jeffrey Bub employs an innovative way of explaining the intricacies of quantum physics. ... Bananaworld should be mandatory reading for anyone studying or working in quantum or theoretical physics.
