"Baggott confines all the equations to optional appendices so that the book succeeds in having a broader appeal than might be imagined ... A nice feature of the book is the section on recent experiments including Aspect's famous series of tests of the Bell inequalities." - Times Higher Education Supplement "Beyond Measure is the ideal book if you are already aware of the weirdness of the quantum world and want to know more." - Focus "What makes Beyond Measure different from other attempts at explaining quantum physics is the way Baggott has structured the book so that each idea gets its own place, in a series of five mini-books within the book." - Focus "... you don't need
much maths to understand [Baggott's] arguments, but you do need your brain switched on ... read this and you'll probably know more than the lecturers!" - Focus "... does for quantum theory what Hawking's A brief history of time did for astronomy and cosmology." - Chemistry World "Jim Baggott's Beyond Measure is a lively tour through the major positions in the foundations and interpretation of the quantum theory. It is not a prancing roshis tour but a carefully written and beautifully organized primer on virtually all the interesting issues." - Arthur Fine, Professor of Philosophy, Adjunct Professor of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle "... for those with an interest in physics it is highly
recommended, both simply as a readable and up-to-date overview of quantum theory as well as as a useful reference work" - The Complete Review "More than a revision of a classic account of quantum mechanics, Jim Baggott's book is the definitive non-technical account of the wonder and understandable strangeness of the theory that underlies all of physics - quantum mechanics." - Roald Hoffmann-Nobel prize winner for chemistry in 1981.
