Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

“Relativistic Quantum Mechanics is highly recommended for such insight not only to all working theoretical and experimental physicists, but for any specialists interested in the eventual philosophical impact of a manifestly covariant quantum theory on the future of scientific advancement in general. This seminal work by Horwitz can perhaps lead the way towards this fresh understanding.” (Donald Reed, Foundations of Physics, Vol. 47, 2017)
