Praise
This is one of the finest books I have read on quantum mechanics: lucid and careful, but also entertaining, honest, and generous. It gets to the core of the matter, exposing the strangeness we perceive withing quantum theory. George Greenstein doesn’t pretend to give you the answers, but he does something more valuable: he reveals the right questions.—Phillip Ball, author of Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You knew About Quantum Physics is Different—
George Greenstein tried for a long time to develop a clear understanding of why Bell’s inequalities are important, and one day he had, as he says, an epiphany. We must thank him for sharing with the reader the long and difficult path that led him to his final clarification.
