From the cover:
Quantum mechanics – the theory which explains the behaviour of atomic and sub-atomic particles – has revolutionized our views about the structure of the physical world.
Although it has superseded all previous theories, after more than fifty years quantum mechanics remains controversial. The unresolved debate about its own fundamental interpretation is centred on the nature of reality and the relationship between ourselves and the physical universe we inhabit.
Assuming no more mathematical ability than that required to read a simple equation. The Quantum World succeeds superbly in presenting important and complex phenomena in terms that the general reader can understand and will find fascinating.
