My eyes tend to glaze over when I encounter YAPBAQPs (Yet Another Popular Book About Quantum Physics). But this volume captured my attention, and imagination. Told in the same way as Alice in Wonderland (with many of the original passages re-tooled to their new purpose) and a hint of Flatland, Gilmore guides us through the principles of Quantum mechanics in a truly lively and fun way. I suspect it may even be a good read for teens or extremely bright children.
Kurzbeschreibung
In this cleverly conceived book, physicist Robert Gilmore makes accessible some complex concepts in quantum mechanics by sending Alice to Quantumland-a whole new Wonderland, smaller than an atom, where each attraction demonstrates a different aspect of quantum theory. Alice unusual encounters, enhanced by illustrations by Gilmore himself, make the Uncertainty Principle, wave functions, the Pauli Principle, and other elusive concepts easier to grasp.

It is a cute book, and the beginning and the way it is like hte Alice in Wonderland theme makes the book easier to follow and understand. It is a neat idea, but still hard for the unadvanced physics student to completely understand. There are a lot of notes to help out, but it is a pain to keep flipping to the end of the chapters to read them. Overall a cute idea and a start to make physics more interesting for those who are not too much into that type of science.

I found this book very readable & an excellent introduction to QM. The other really good intro that I would recommend would be Fred Alan Wolf's "Taking The Quantum Leap." Some of the ideas of this fascinating subject I found to be clearer in Gilmore's book....others I thought were said with less verbosity in Wolf's book. As Gilmore's book is told in the style of Lewis Carrol's allegory, it is a touch more pleasant to read.....but not much. I would recommend reading them both for a complete intro to the wonderful world of theoretical physics. Afterwards, I would recommend "In Search Of Schroedinger's Cat" by John Gribbin and "Parallel Universes" (also by Fred Alan Wolf).
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Alice in Wonderland metaphor fits the subject perfectly and Gilmore does a fantastic job of catching the tone and feel of the original. He manages to make many subtle concepts understandable in an entertaining manner. Everyone in our family has read it and enjoyed it, even those who don't normally like science texts. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an overview of Quantum Physics!

It was so damn hard to soak up, but worth the brain racking!
It used up more than my required 10% of brain space.!@#$*@! OVERLOAD!!! OVERLOAD!!!
Damn what a rush!!!

Don't waste your money on this one
Like a previous reviewer, I can appreciate the author's efforts. Being a physicist, I am well aware of how difficult it is to explain even the simplest concepts of quantum... Lesen Sie weiter...

Great for anybody except the VERY VERY young.
When my son was ten, I read this to him as bedtime reading. We had a LOT of laughs. It's a great way to get the feel of quantum mechanics and have fun at the same time.

I am a 15yr old student and didn't really know anything about Quantum Physics - other than that it was supposed to be really difficult, complex and beyond the average person's... Lesen Sie weiter...

No no no!
I don't really even want to take the time to bother saying why; it wasn't worth it! I wholly appreciate what Robert Gilmore is trying to do (make quantum physics more palatable... Lesen Sie weiter...

A wonderful introduction to quantum physics
I had attempted to read several writings geared toward introduction to quantum theories and practices,without any real understanding of what was being said. Lesen Sie weiter...
