BEST book I ever read in my life 
This is the Motherbook of all books.
I have been waiting for this book all my life.
quantum physics
I bought this book due to my interest in quantum physics after hearing about 'passion from a distance' which is Bell's theorum. The intelligence is passed on very simply but I have found that I need to read the book in short spurts in order to take in the information. As yet I have not finished the book but feel sure I shall learn from it. I must add that I didnt do physics at college so am a complete novice.
Good companion for another intro book 
Like most introductory books in this area, it really helps to have some prior background. It makes some small leaps in places that will leave true beginners feeling a little lost. As an introduction, I'd rate this book lower than "The Quantum World ..." by Kenneth Ford, but it would make a nice companion to it because this book goes into additional depth in specific areas such as conductors, insulators, semiconductors and superconductors.
A good place to start
Overall, I definitely got what I wanted out of this book. For those of you who want a mathy approach to the subject, this is probably not the book for you. I know very little about the subject, so I wanted a book that would enable me to get a big picture so I could tell if a certain aspect of quantum physics interests me. This book serves that function well.
No direct reflection on the author, but there are a number of significant numerical errors in the first chapter or so. They are almost certainly due to poor typesetting, I'm sure the author can tear up the math.
Not that good 
Though the book is Ok, after reading Isaacs Asimov "Understanding Phisics" I expected more clarity from this book.
