Book Summary and Reviews of Quantum by Manjit Kumar
Media Reviews
"Starred Review. With physics undergoing another revolution today, Kumar reminds us of a time when science turned the universe upside down." - Publishers Weekly
"Expertly delineates complex scientific issues in nontechnical language, using telling detail to weave together personal, political and scientific elements." - Kirkus Reviews
"This is especially good for lay readers who would enjoy an excellent story about the long struggle of scientists to understand an important field of modern science." - Library Journal
A super-collider of a book, shaking together an exotic cocktail of free-thinking physicists, tracing their chaotic interactions and seeing what God-particles and black holes fly up out of the maelstrom… Provides probably the most lucid and detailed intellectual history ever written of a body of theory that makes other scientific revolutions look limp-wristed by comparison.
