N. David Mermin

My primary current interest is in foundations of quantum mechanics.  

In January 2016 Cambridge University Press published "Why Quark Rhymes with Pork", a collection of all thirty of my "Reference Frame" columns in Physics Today, together with thirteen other essays of general interest from the past three decades, many of them previously unpublished.  My recent views on the nature of quantum physics, relativity, and other aspects of physics and the practice of science, can be found there.   

 In 2005 Princeton University Press published "It's About Time", an exposition of relativity for readers with no knowledge of physics who remember a little high school plane geometry.
