I haven't read the book myself, only some articles (if I remember correct it was in Foundation of Physics) by the authors that cover some of the topics in the book. But I've read somewhere on their web page that they go into new interpretations that try to link QM and consciousness (I suspect Stapp is one of them). I don't think you'll find many equations in the book though.

If you want to have a more technical book, look up Henry Stapp's Mindful Universe. You can get some of his ideas/work directly from his homepage also, but it's better to read it from the book. It goes into some of the basics but also focuses more on his own ideas. I have to say though that it took me a while do digest it (the book). It's a though one
