review 1: I thought this was an excellent introduction to quantum mechanics. I don't really care for dogs in general, but whatever. Orzel did an admirable job of explaining the rise of quantum mechanics from blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and doubleslit experiments demonstrating wave-particle duality. Schrodinger's equation and what it is all about is also described and 'demosntrated' through his discussion on quantum tunneling. He ended the book talking about fascinating phenomena such as quantum interrogation and quantum entanglement and how experiments have established that non local theories must be true. All this sounds technical but the book makes these concepts accessible to all.
review 2: This is a great book... more that will let you wrap your head around Quantum physics. The narrative gimmick of the conversations between Chad and his dog are great, and provide a nice light hearted and understandable look at some of the truly strange phenomena that emerges from quantum theory. For a bonus he also has a chapter on realizing that you are being conned by some sort of quantum con game, i.e. quantum healing. less
