Description

The New York Times Book Review has praised Barry Parker's lucid and engrossing popular science writing on complex physics as physics for poets.Parker succeeds in presenting a clear, interesting, and even suspenseful account of quantum theory, with vivid vignettes about the physicists who were its most important developers. - Book Review DigestUsing straightforward, easy to understand language, [Parker] details the importance of quantum mechanics and how it has changed the world...[a book] both scientists and laymen will enjoy. - Physical Sciences Digest...remarkably concise and clear...it's a thrilling tale - not least because it's still unfolding...if you want to find out where we stand now...you could do no better than read this well-written and accessible account. - New ScientistToday we all take for granted the many technological marvels that have sprung from quantum physics without ever appreciating the radical paradigm shift that led to these discoveries. The story of the physicists who made the quantum leaps that have so altered our world is a provocative and intriguing one. And there is no better person to describe the history of this quantum revolution in terms that everyone can understand than award-winning physicist and science writer Barry Parker.Parker introduces us to all the major players in this history, offering interesting biographical details that shed light on their important discoveries: Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schr÷dinger, Paul Dirac, Richard Feynman, and Julian Schwinger. Parker also discusses Einstein's objections to quantum theory (God does not play dice with the universe.), philosophical implications and quantum weirdness, as well as the seemingly miraculous practical applications of quantum theoryùin lasers, transistors, integrated circuits, computer technology, nuclear energy, and genetics.Parker's gift for turning the subtle complexities of subatomic physics into clearly understandable terms while conveying the excitement and wide-ranging importance of quantum exploration make him the ideal guide to a field that continues to transform our world and ultimately our universe.Barry Parker, Ph.D. (Boise, ID), a professor of physics at Idaho State University from 1967 to 1997, is an award-winning science writer and the author of thirteen highly acclaimed books in popular science, including Search for a Supertheory, Alien Life: The Search for Extraterrestrials and Beyond, Einstein: The Passions of a Scientist, Albert Einstein's Vision and Quantum Legacy: The Discovery That Changed Our Universe.
