The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the
forefront of modern science and scholarship, including related philosophical debates.
In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their
topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to
gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as
a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach
to modern science and research. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active
academics in all fields to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues
beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to
entropy, consciousness, language and complex systems—the Frontiers Collection
will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge.
