About the book
"As Kenneth W. Ford shows in The Quantum World, the laws governing the very small and the very swift defy common sense and stretch our minds to the limit. Drawing on a deep familiarity with the discoveries of the twentieth century, Ford gives an account of quantum physics that will help the serious reader make sense of a science that, for all its successes, remains mysterious."--BOOK JACKET.
