Biography
Tiziana Vistarini is a Visiting Scholar at the University of Rome, "Roma Tre", Philosophy Department.
"Libraries supporting schools with active theoretical physics and philosophy of science departments will want this text on their shelves, as there are no comparable works. Summing Up: Recommended." – CHOICE
"This book presents a snapshot of an interesting research program in progress. The case studies isolate philosophically relevant features of string theory, and I found them informative and thought-provoking. I would recommend it to any philosopher of physics with an interest in current philosophical debates about quantum theories of gravity." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
