Quantum Mechanics for the Rest of Us but not for Dummies: Quantum Theory Simplified
You’ve heard of Quantum Mechanics but don’t really have any idea what it is. By the time you finish reading this book you will know what Quantum Mechanics is!
Written in everyday language, with pictures and diagrams to help you understand.
We take it step-by-step, starting with famous scientists, then classical physics, progressing to basic Quantum Mechanics and then the hard stuff.
We end with the philosophical implications of the burgeoning science.

I’m ready for the math behind quantum mechanics.
It seems particle accelerators are the only means by which QM questions can arise to sleuth answers without these particles even being able to be seen!

Barely a passing grade
So badly written and hence completely unnecessarily confusing. The author may have a good grasp of classical and quantum physics but the early parts on classical physics barely merited a D grade. Can I have my money back?

All too short
A great book you can read in a hour. A little informal, zero math, some good concepts, but over much too soon.
