Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity by Carlo Rovelli
4.0
I finished it, for which I deserve five stars. The author used great illustrations, for which he deserves five stars.
However, I think the author should have described certain quantum ideas, like 'spin networks' and loops with more illustrations and longer chapters and more words rooted in common everyday language - but on the other hand, my brain grasps liberal arts with ease while I flounder and drown in math conceptualizations, not to mention in solving higher-math equations. Maybe the author DID describe accurately those things.
The author has extensive notes, an annotated bibliography and an index. As far as I can tell, this is a fantastic book. The author certainly tried very very hard to make quantum mechanics understandable.
