Quantum Theory: A Very Short Introduction
Since Newton, quantum theory has been the greatest ground-breaking advancement in physics. The surprising and paradoxical concepts that influence our understanding of the subatomic world are described in this book in a way that is lucid, engaging, and easy to understand. It doesn't hide the interpretational issues that, 75 years after the initial discoveries, are still up for debate. Equations are not used in the main text, although a mathematical appendix is available for those who prefer more challenging material.
