"Great review into the weird and wonderful world of quantum mechanics" according to H. Olde. Enjoyed reading this accessible guide to quantum mechanics. It is a great introduction and really made me want to read and learn more about this topic.. "Buyer beware!" according to Ellen Jackson. Be careful. This book is only 27 pages long. If you think any book that length is worth $10--go for it. Frankly, I don't.. tony lau said A book which provides joyful reading for anyone being intellectually curious.
