Katy (kathy_h) | 181 comments I've got a copy of the book. Now to remember to read it along with the group.


David S. T. | 9 comments So far I really like this book, its more history than theory. It starts with developments earlier than just Bohr and Einstein and then works through the earlier thoughts up to later quantum debates.

Al There's a strong attention to historical detail, I'm learning quite a lot of new things about the people involved. I feel like the science is sometimes explained in awkward ways that might not be clear to people who seen already familiar with the material.

Al Finally finished. I'd recommend this one for history buffs, it definitely gets into the fine details of the lives of the scientists involved.

Best part of the book for me is the Bohr/Einstein duel.
