Carlo Rovelli FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING SERIESNeat, and extremely simple: only a deep thinker such as Sean Carroll could introduce the complexity of Einsteins general relativity in such a luminous and straightforward manner.Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on PhysicsImmense, strange and infinite, the world of modern physics often feels impenetrable to the undiscerning eye – a jumble of muons, gluons and quarks, impossible to explain without several degrees and a research position at CERN.But it doesnt have to be this way!Allow world-renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Sean Carroll to guide you through the biggest ideas in the universe. Elegant and simple, Carroll unravels a web of theory to get to the heart of the truths they represent about the world around us.—In Quanta and Fields, the second in this landmark trilogy, Carroll delves into the baffling and beautiful world of quantum mechanics. From Schrödinger to Feynman, Carroll travels through the quantum revolution with the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Exploring how several decades of research overturned centuries of convention, Carroll provides a dazzling tour of the most exciting ideas in modern science. Author Biography Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of natural philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of international bestsellers The Big Picture, Something Deeply Hidden and The Particle at the End of the Universe, which also won the Royal Society Winton Prize.
