About This Item
Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1984. Paperback, good condition, figures, minor foxing edges, pages lightly toned. 100 pp. This compact volume presents quantum mechanics for the general reader. It offers a lucid description of the intellectual challenges and disagreements in the study of the behavior of atomic and sub-atomic particles - a field that has completely changed our view of the physical world, but that is still the subject of unresolved debate about its own fundamental interpretation. The author theoretical physicist at the University of Cambridge, but in 1979 he resigned to train for the ministry of the Church of England, and he is now an ordained priest.
