Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed by Jim Al-Khalili

2.0

If Al-Khalili spent less time waxing about how strange and weird and strange quantum mechanics is, and more time explaining it in a clear manner, perhaps it would seem less strange. He jumps around to different topics, and his chapters are interspersed with essays by other physicists, none of whom agreed on what exactly had been covered so far. All of this makes for a difficult time understanding---though it is easy to read.

He does cover many interesting topics, including different interpretations (such as the de-Broglie Bohm, many worlds, and even brushes a little on less common ones such as the transactional interpretation), and applications to other fields.
