Review

Overall:

Rating-3.svg

Good

  • The book describes a variety of quantum physics concepts and physicists.

Bad

  • The full-page illustrations are pretty dull; mostly clip art quality, and I don't think they help describe the topic very well.

Ugly

  • Each segment is so short, it doesn't do a very good job of describing the theory and often raises more questions than is answers. I read the whole book, but I don't feel like I gained any new insight into the field.
