    Beautifully clear in exposition.
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016*

The finest presentation of the history, conceptual and philosophical issues, experimental basis, and interpretations of quantum mechanics that one is likely to find in print. Beautifully clear in exposition, and disinterestedly fair in presenting the spectrum of interpretations and alternative theories, whether they be tainted with metaphysics as the last bastion of the realist, or they offer little explanatory-satisfaction given the rejection of that role in science by the positivist. De facto, the book to read as a primer to a text.The only (slightly) negative critique I can make is that, in the discussion of the philosophy of Hume, Leibniz, Kant, Realist vs Positivist [.etc..],... Baggott misses an opportunity to associate Kant's profound epistemology to the non-intuitive nature of QM. Which is to point out that rather than our core concepts [space, time, causality, separability, locality, simultaneity,...] having been derived from experience, they are rather a-priori conditions for [macroscopic] experience to be possible in the first place; they are hard-wired forms of understanding given the nature of mind. Our minds evolved to synthesize macroscopic experience for the understanding,... and therefore is equipped with an artificial conceptual framework, one not consistently compatible with microscopic reality. The act of observation necessarily conforms the otherwise formless underlying reality within our a-priori concepts, ... resulting in inconsistencies, This formless independent underlying reality is objective but unknowable in itself, ....Kant's Noumenon. John von Neumann was correct to place the collapse of the wavefunction in consciousness [mind]. An epistemological explanation to the measurement problem is orders of magnitude more scientific than any unobservable metaphysical one, as the mind in principal can be investigated, while the multi-verse or guiding waves, etc, can not.

    Great Physics Book, Clear and Thorough, Unhindered by Math -- But Kindle Version Formatting Sucks -- Needs Human Intervention
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018*

4 Stars because the clarity of Baggott's and Atkins' work is beyond compare. The layman can read this textbook and come away with a substantial bosy of knowledge about the subject. HOWEVER, I read the Kindle version and it sucks.... I doubt it has been proofread at all. The formatting is way off kilter, especially at chapter headings and footnotes. So much for computerized reformatting. On the other hand, if you want to read this book, as I did, without paying in excess of a hundred dollars for either the hardback or paperback version, this version at $9.99 is a godsend....

    The many theories theory
  

*by U***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2008*

Two thumbs up (in superpostion)! By far the best overview of Quantum theory that I've read thus far (out of 10 books). The author doesn't pick and choose from the competing interpretations of QT to advance an agenda, (philosophical, social, political, or scientific). QT development is presented in its historical context with all the resistance that accompanies new theories. Alternatives to the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation are fairly presented. All the mathematics are thankfully placed in appendices at the end of the book. Still, some of the text explaining experimental setup and reasoning was too technical for me, but I grasped the gist of the "interpretation." The meaning of QT is still being debated. The many interpretations articulated in the many theories designed to explain microphysics phenomena essentially boil down to 2 competing metaphysical postions: the "anti-realist" Copenhagen interpretation (Heisenberg, Bohr, Pauli) and the "realist" hidden variables interpretation (Einstein, Schrodinger, Bohm, etc.). This is obviously an oversimplification, but I can confidently now state that I understand that I don't understand Quantum Theory.
