In this second English edition (third, if one includes the first Italian one), a large number of typos and errors of various kinds have been amended. I have added more than 100 pages of fresh material, both mathematical and physical, in particular regarding the notion of superselection rules—addressed from several different angles—the machinery of von Neumann algebras and the abstract algebraic formulation. I have considerably expanded the lattice approach to Quantum Mechanics in Chap. 7, which now contains precise statements leading up to Solèr’s theorem on the characterization of quantum lattices, as well as generalised versions of Gleason’s theorem. As a matter of fact, Chap. 7 and the related Chap. 11 have been completely reorganised. I have incorporated a variety of results on the theory of von Neumann algebras and a broader discussion on the mathematical formulation of superselection rules, also in relation to the von Neumann algebra of observables. The corresponding preparatory material has been fitted into Chap. 3. Chapter 12 has been developed further, in order to include technical facts concerning groups of quantum symmetries and their strongly continuous unitary representations. I have examined in detail the relationship between Nelson domains and Gårding domains. Each chapter has been enriched by many new exercises, remarks, examples and references. I would like once again to thank my colleague Simon Chiossi for revising and improving my writing. For having pointed out typos and other errors and for useful discussions, I am grateful to Gabriele Anzellotti, Alejandro Ascárate, Nicolò Cangiotti, Simon G. Chiossi, Claudio Dappiaggi, Nicolò Drago, Alan Garbarz, Riccardo Ghiloni, Igor Khavkine, Bruno Hideki F. Kimura, Sonia Mazzucchi, Simone Murro, Giuseppe Nardelli, Marco Oppio, Alessandro Perotti and Nicola Pinamonti.
