Review

Overall: |
|
Good
- The book describes a variety of quantum physics concepts and physicists.
Bad
- The full-page illustrations are pretty dull; mostly clip art quality, and I don't think they help describe the topic very well.
Ugly
- Each segment is so short, it doesn't do a very good job of describing the theory and often raises more questions than is answers. I read the whole book, but I don't feel like I gained any new insight into the field.
