Causality and Locality in Modern Physics Proceedings of a Symposium in honour of Jean-Pierre Vigier

The Symposium entitled: Causality and Locality in Modern Physics and As­ tronomy: Open Questions and Possible Solutions was held at York University, Toronto, during the last week of August 1997. It was a sequel to a similar sym­ posium entitled: The Present Status of the Quantum Theory of Light held...
