Review Quotes

"[D]on't let Orzel's laid back nature or clever sense of humor fool you--he is explaining some pretty serious stuff. A level-headed and confident guide, he takes Emmy (and the reader) through everything from wave-particle duality and superpositions to quantum tunneling and the so-called many worlds interpretation (many worlds, many treats)." --New Scientist

"Fun introduction to modern physics." --Publishers Weekly

"It's hard to imagine a better way for the mathematically and scientifically challenged, in particular, to grasp basic quantum physics." --Booklist

"Chad Orzel's treatment of special and general relativity is comprehensive, informative, and amazingly accessible, yet it's funny too. This is, by far, the most entertaining discussion of the subject that I've ever had the pleasure of reading." --Steve Nadis, coauthor of The Shape of Inner Space
