Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg's classic account explains the central ideas of the quantum revolution, and his celebrated Uncertainty Principle. Heisenberg reveals how words and concepts familiar in daily life can lose their meaning in the world of relativity and quantum physics.

This classic book is Marcuse's masterful interpretation of Hegel's philosophy and the influence it has had on European political thought from the French Revolution to the present day. Marcuse brilliantly illuminates the implications of Hegel's ideas with later developments in European thought, particularily with Marxist theory.

Miguel de Beistegui identifies the impetus and driving force behind Deleuze's philosophy and its concepts. By returning Deleuze's thought to its source--or, following Deleuze's own vocabulary, to what he calls the event of that thought--Beistegui extracts its inner consistency: immanence.
