The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics: A Math-Free Exploration of the Science that Made Our World by James Kakalios

4.0

The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics by James Kakalios--Charming and informative, this book explores quantum mechanics through the framing of comics written contemporaneously with some of the biggest scientific discoveries of the twentieth century. This framing device works well, as Kakalios can dive into what's wrong--and surprisingly, what's right--about the pseudoscience that underpins the origins of heroes and villains both renowned and obscure. The explanations are delightful and down-to-earth, and Kakalios goes out of his way to connect dots and show how our understanding of quantum mechanics has led to everyday improvements in our lives. Thumbs up.
