Helpful Score: 2
I liked it. If you've always wanted the basic concepts behind theoretical physics explained in simple terms, I would recommend this book.

In Search of Schrodinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality
In Search of Schrodinger's Cat Quantum Physics and Reality
Author:
Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search ... more »

Interesting "horses and duckies" interpretation of the many universes interpretation of quantum mechanics (Everett). A good historical survey of the development of quantum mechanics.

Schrodinger's Cat is one of the most compelling thoughts in physics for non-scientists. Gribbin uses the dead/alive cat theory as a starting point for an overview of history and main arguments in quantum theory.
