Einstein and the Quantum reveals for the first time the full significance of Albert Einstein's contributions to quantum theory. Einstein famously rejected quantum mechanics, observing that God does not play dice. But, in fact, he thought more about the nature of atoms, molecules, and the emission and absorption of light - the core of what we now know as quantum theory - than he did about relativity.

Wonderful book
Revisado: 12-24-19
I thought I'd read every important on the origins of quantum mechanics, but Doug Stone's book opened my eyes to Einstein's centrality in the development. It is great having a book like this written by an eminent physicist such as Prof. Stone. The book doesn't shy away from describing the basic physics, and it comes across very well even without pictures. I love the description of Bose-Einstein condensation in terms of throwing two identical vs. distinguishable dice. The narration was generally great, but the narrator pronounced some of the names (such as de Broglie) differently than what I'm used to.

Churchill's history of the Second World War is, and will remain, the definitive work. Lucid, dramatic, remarkable for its breadth and sweep and for its sense of personal involvement, it is universally acknowledged as a magnificent reconstruction.

Brilliant! Only Churchill could have done this.

great narration
Revisado: 05-18-08
I often had the feeling that I was listening to a narration by Churchill himself. I'm not sure if this is an excellent imitation or if it is the way the narrator usually speaks. The narrator does a great job of bringing the man (and his words) alive. He also switches voices very effectively for other characters (such as Chamberlain and Baldwin). This book mostly focuses on the politics that led Britain and France to do little to stop Hitler from mobilizing Germany for war. It is a fascinating inside view.
