Reviews
Quantum by Manjit Kumar
Good title anyway.
Excellent history of the development of Quantum Mechanics. Suitable for the general reader with an interest in the subject; not technical.
Riveting account of the development of quantum theory and quantum mechanics from Planck to the question of uncertainty vs. absolute reality raised by the Copenhagen Interpretation and the fundamental opposition to it's view of the probabilistic nature of the subatomic world raised by Einstein and Schrödinger.
