"If you want to know how physicists really think about the world,
this book is the place to start."--Sean Carroll, author of The
Particle at the End of the Universe
"If you're ever banished to a desert island and allowed to take
just one book, here it is. Given enough time, with no distractions,
you could use it to eventually master quantum mechanics."--Science
News
"Susskind and Friedman's persuasive overview--and their insistence
on explaining...exactly what it is that is strange about quantum
mechanics--may be just what is needed."--Nature
