The Quantum Zoo: A Tourist's Guide to the Neverending Universe by Marcus Chown

3.0

A readable and fairly easy to understand explanation of many of the essentials of modern physics, though a few diagrams wouldn't have gone amiss. I also couldn't help wondering which technical details Chown had streamlined or left out for clarity's sake.

I'll doubtless seek out a few more introductions to physics and quantum mechanics in hopes of enriching my personal comprehension of these concepts...but I do think I might take another crack at Connie Willis' "At the Rialto" with a better chance of grasping the metaphors now.
