The Quantum World: Quantum Physics for Everyone, Paperback/Kenneth W. Ford

Contributor(s): Appendix by: Diane Goldstein Author: Kenneth W. Ford As Kenneth W. Ford shows us in The Quantum World , the laws governing the very small and the very swift defy common sense and stretch our minds to the limit. Drawing on a deep familiarity with the discoveries of the twentieth century, Ford gives an appealing account of quantum physics that will help the serious reader make sense of a science that, for all its successes, remains mysterious. In order to make the book even more suitable for classroom use, the author, assisted by Diane Goldstein, has included a new section of Quantum Questions at the back of the book. A separate answer manual to these 300+ questions is available; visit The Quantum World website for ordering information. There is also a cloth edition of this book, which does not include the "Quantum Questions" included in this paperback edition.   Review citations Univ PR Books for Public Libry / Gold Medal (4.5 Stars) - pg. 1 - 01/01/2006 Univ PR Books for Public Libry / Strongly Recommended - pg. 1 - 01/01/2006 Univ PR Books for Public Libry / Recommended - Good - pg. 1 - 01/01/2006
