Take Advantage of 55% OFF for Your Bookstore!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to learn about the basics of quantum physics and impress your friends at cocktail parties with some big brain trivia about some of history's greatest scientific minds? Think you could be a theoretical physicist, but you need to brush up on your knowledge of relativity first? Want to carry a book on the subway that will make your fellow passengers think you're totally sophisticated? Great! Then Quantum Physics for Beginners is the book for you. Explore the field of quantum physics from its infancy through its bright future with topics like: Special and general relativity The nature of classical physics v. quantum physics What the heck is a quantum, anyway? Discovery of the atom and development of atomic models Early experiments and research that changed the face of science forever The photoelectric effect Wave-particle duality Schroedinger's contributions to physics (and his famous cats!) The life and works of Albert Einstein, including his 1905 'Miracle Year' The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle The Einstein-Bohr debates Practical applications of quantum physics through the decades Electromagnetic and gravitational waves Unified field theory and much more! Lastly, you'll take a journey through today's practical applications of quantum mechanics, chemistry, and physics to look at the future of clean energy, space travel, and medicine. You'll also be given a peek at the theoretical side of modern quantum physics and learn about the work that scientists are doing to make the impossible possible. Quantum Physics for Beginners will whet your appetite for studying how the world works and jog your brain into thinking about everything around you in a whole new way!

*from Amazon.com Fun approach to learning about Quantum Physics - 'thisisme' This book made introduction to Quantum Physics simpler and fun. I recommend this book to those who find learning about the concepts and theories intimidating. Learning from this book is much less menacing than how I recall being taught about these in my student years. Fun to read - 'Paul' I thoroughly enjoyed this book! This is a great explanation of the basic understandings of molecular physics and it is very well done. The author's easy-to-read writing style has actually turned what is potentially a dry nerdy subject, into something quite interesting and fun to read about! If a lot of what you learned at school went straight over your head, give this a try and you will find yourself finally understanding all about atoms and wave energy etc. I highly recommend it! Great introduction and summary to a complex topic - 'fergy5baf' Easy to read and engaging - takes a very cool and complex topic and distills it to a digestible undertaking that people who are not physicis experts can appreciate. As someone who did his college thesis in physics, this was still very useful and fun to read for me. Puts the complex topic that can be so dry to read about in typical textbooks, into a very interesting historical summary form that is a great review for people well aware of the topic--as it is also a good intro for someone who has never heard of quantum mechanics.
