Il libro si concentra sul problema filosofico della causalità relativistica, alla base dell'apparente conflitto fra meccanica quantistica e relatività ristretta. Il problema viene risolto nel contesto della teoria quantistica dei campi, che offre la miglior descrizione corrente del mondo fisico microscopico. L'approccio concettuale e matematico del libro permette anche di trattare altre questioni filosofiche fondamentali riguardanti l'ontologia e la separabilità dei sistemi fisici.

Scaturito da un programma internazionale di collaborazione universitaria, il libro indaga sui modi di progettare e recuperare in maniera sostenibile luoghi speciali attraverso osservazioni e scelte fatte lungo un cammino. Renata Valente sviluppa il tema della percorrenza e della lettura attraverso le componenti ambientali. Salvatore Cozzolino delinea possibili occasioni di riqualificazione dell'ambiente lavorando sul limite dell'impossibile negli interstizi urbani, dimostrando come gli esempi di alcuni progetti esprimano con chiarezza le teorie espresse. Lucio Nardi descrive in maniera anticonvenzionale il tragitto che lo ha portato dalla Germania al lavoro comune, lo sfalsamento delle sue destinazioni e le conseguenze indotte. Il "Tentativo sul luogo", considera i punti di vista dai quali studiare il rapporto tra progetto d'architettura e luogo. Considerando le diverse provenienze di formazione degli autori, questo libro testimonia l'utilità dello sforzo di trovare codici di scambio disciplinare per arricchire la complessità e la profondità della propria ricerca. Il progetto ambientale si nutre di tale complessità per definizione scientifica e caratterizzazione culturale.
