In What is Life, Schrödinger attempts to provide a new understanding of living organisms by using thermodynamics as a backdrop. Life seems so organized. If it were subject to the second law of thermodynamics, we would expect that molecules would decay to lower energy states. They do not.

Don’t let the title deceive you. This book is clearly written for humans and contains a great deal of knowledge. However, the pedagogic explanations are interrupted by dialogs between the author Chad Orzel and his dog Emmy. These dialogs are very insightful since Emmy seems to ask all the questions a human also would have. Well, at least nearly. Th...
This paperback book is written by Kenneth W. Ford, retired director of the American Institute of Physics. When he talks about breakthrough physicists, he often has met them in person. The book has nearly no formulas — we counted around three simple ones, plus maybe another two or three in the footnotes. Spread over close to 300 pages. This together...
This book is written by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman. Quantum Mechanics – The Theoretical Minimumintends to make quantum mechanics “as simple as possible, but no simpler”. We find that for anyone not shying away from formulas, they really nailed it. The roughly A5 size book is comparable easy to read: we managed reading 42 pages per hour in th...
This book belongs to the three-volume series by Nobel prize winner Richard P. Feynman and coworkers. The notable thing about the Feynman Lectures Volume 3is that it is fairly accessible for non-physicists – much more than most other quantum physics books. Part of what makes the book so great is a multitude of images that accompany the text and grea...
This is a two volume book series, written by nobel prize winner Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and coworkers Bernard Diu and Frank Laloë. It is possibly the most extensive quantum mechanics resource, with together around 1400 pages. The length is due to the fact that quantum physics principles are explained in detail, and not as dense as in the book by Lan...
This is the third bookin a ten-books series by nobel prize winner L.D. Landau and his student E.M. Lifshitz. These books contain a lot of physics, they are, however, quite dense. While this per se makes them less suitable for beginners, they have what most other physics books don’t: Solved exercises. These books contain many exercises, and all of t...
To summarize our quantum physics books review, How to Teach Quantum Physics To Your Dog and The Quantum World – Quantum Physics for Everyone are clearly the most accessible for non-physicists. They have hardly any formulas, and a presentation that is truly aimed at beginners who do not need to have a strong math background. We would recommend to st...
Jan 19, 2010 · This book describes the many aspects of the life and scientific work of Erwin Schrödinger, who, perhaps more than anyone else, serves to represent the whole of modern physics.
Jul 28, 1989 · Schrödinger led a very intense life, both in his research and in the personal realm. This book portrays his life against the backdrop of Europe at a time of change and unrest. His best known scientific work was the discovery of wave mechanics, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933.
