“Zukav is such a skillful expositor, with such amiable style, that it is hard to imagine a layman who would not find this book enjoyable and informative.”
—Martin Gardner
Scientific American

“Stripped of mathematics, physics becomes pure enchantment…you’ll come away from this book feeling like a Wu Li master yourself.”
—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
The New York Times

“This book is an extremely clear and easily understandable account of quantum physics, which can be read with equal profit by those who have little or no mathematical or technical knowledge, and by those who specialize in the study of physics and its research…”
—David Bohm
legendary physicist and author of Quantum Theory and other books

“…this book is not only readable, but it also puts the reader in touch with all the various ways that physicists have worked out for talking about what is so hard to talk about. In short, Gary Zukav has written a very good book…”
