520    Ken Ford's mission is to help us understand the "great 
       ideas" of quantum physics--ideas such as wave-particle 
       duality, the uncertainty principle, superposition, and 
       conservation. These fundamental concepts provide the 
       structure for 101 Quantum Questions, an authoritative yet 
       engaging book for the general reader in which every 
       question and answer brings out one or more basic features 
       of the mysterious world of the quantum--the physics of the
       very small. Nuclear researcher and master teacher, Ford 
       covers everything from quarks, quantum jumps, and what 
       causes stars to shine, to practical applications ranging 
       from lasers and superconductors to light-emitting diodes. 
       Ford's lively answers are enriched by Paul Hewitt's 
       drawings, numerous photos of physicists, and anecdotes, 
       many from Ford's own experience. Organized for cover-to-
       cover reading, 101 Quantum Questions also is great for 
       browsing. Some books focus on a single subject such as the
       standard model of particles, or string theory, or fusion 
       energy. This book touches all those topics and more, 
       showing us that disparate natural phenomena, as well as a 
       host of manmade inventions, can be understood in terms of 
       a few key ideas. Yet Ford does not give us simplistic 
       explanations. He assumes a serious reader wanting to gain 
       real understanding of the essentials of quantum physics. 
       Ken Ford's other books include The Quantum World: Quantum 
       Physics for Everyone (Harvard 2004), which Esquire 
       magazine recommended as the best way to gain an 
       understanding of quantum physics. Ford's new book, a 
       sequel to the earlier one, makes the quantum world even 
       more accessible. 
520    This reader-friendly, richly illustrated book provides an 
       engaging overview of quantum physics, from "big ideas" 
       like probability and uncertainty and conservation laws to 
       the behavior of quarks and photons and neutrinos, and on 
       to explanations of how a laser works and why black holes 
       evaporate.
