The five volumes in the series include: "Quantum Cosmology and the Laws of Nature" (vol. 1, 1993); "Chaos and Complexity" (vol. 2, 1995); "Molecular and Evolutionary Biology" (vol. 3, 1998); "Neuroscience and the Person" (vol. 4, 1999); and "Quantum Mechanics "(vol. 5, 2001), and are distributed by University of Notre Dame Press.
