John G. Cramer is  known to many as author of the award-nominated hard-SF novels Twistor and Einstein's Bridge, and contributor of nearly 200 popular-science articles published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine.  He is Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he has five decades of experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate physics.  From 1983 - 1990 he served as Director of the UW Nuclear Physics Laboratory. John has done cutting-edge research in experimental and theoretical nuclear physics and ultra-relativistic heavy ion physics, fields in which he has published extensively. He has also worked on the foundations of quantum mechanics and is the originator of its Transactional Interpretation.  John and his wife Pauline live in the View Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.

“The book … is a fundamental work on the transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics, which was proposed by Cramer himself and that provides a different way to look at quantum mechanics. The work is, thus, of major interest for physicists, researchers working on quantum technologies, students learning quantum mechanics as well as researchers working on the foundations of quantum mechanics. … the book is a key work on quantum theory, providing for an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics … .” (Carlos Pedro Gonçalves, zbMATH 1358.81001, 2017)“As Cramer (emer., physics, Univ. of Washington) notes, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics has serious flaws that have led to many alternatives. This work presents one of these alternatives: the transactional interpretation. The Quantum Handshake is primarily for nonphysicists, though physicists might find this new approach interesting. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic library collections in physics.” (E. Kincanon, Choice, Vol. 53 (11), July, 2016)
