It's a fascinating read: Love the bits about Schrodinger's cat ... But it is a book one may have to read with google at hand ... I think google, or whatever one uses, is a great boon to those who find footnotes and cross refs. confusing and irritatingly sparse. Isacc Azimov's "Atom: A Journey accross the Sub-Atomic Cosmos" is also a great read for those who have some interest in the history of atomic theory, and some hints on where it might lead.
