Students of quantum mechanics and the quantum theory of measurement who have not studied Prof. Willis Lamb's major contributions to the interpretation of quantum mechanics can do themselves an enormous favor by reading his book entitled "The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics," edited and annotated by Jagdish Mehra (Rinton Press, Princeton, NJ, 2001).
