Contents:

Particles and classical mechanics -- Fields and classical electromagnetism -- What is a quantum? -- Perfect randomness -- Quantum states and how they change -- Superpositions and macroscopic quanta -- An entangled, nonlocal universe -- Schrodinger's cat and "measurement" -- The environment as monitor: how change becomes irreversible.

Subject: ""Tales of the Quantum" is a discussion of the fundamental principles of quantum physics for the non-scientific reader. Hobson brings together examples that illustrate the simple and logical consistency of what otherwise is viewed as a largely unapproachable topic for anyone but physicists. The book condenses topics like force, motion, and electromagnetism"--
