520    "J.E. Moyal has been pronounced 'one of Australia's most 
       remarkable thinkers'. Yet, he was, essentially, a 
       scientific maverick. Educated in a modest high school in 
       Tel Aviv, he took himself to France to train as an 
       engineer, statistician and mathematician and escaped to 
       England as France fell. It was from outside academia that 
       he entered into communication with the 'high priest' of 
       British theoretical physics, P.A.M. Dirac, challenging him
       with the idea of a statistical basis of quantum mechanics.
       Their correspondence forms the core of this book and opens
       up an important and hitherto unknown chapter for 
       physicists, mathematicians and historians of science. 
       Moyal's classic paper, 'A statistical basis for quantum 
       mechanics', also reproduced here in full, has come to 
       underlie an explosion of research and to underpin an array
       of major technological developments."--Publisher's 
       description.
