Entangled quantum histories

Don Howard1

Top

Two chronicles of quantum mechanics tell a good tale but don't reflect the conflicts between the physicists who struggled to reconcile theory and fact, explains Don Howard.

BOOK REVIEWEDThe Age of Entanglement: When Quantum Physics Was Reborn

by Louisa Gilder

Knopf: 2008. 464 pp. $27.50

BOOK REVIEWEDQuantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality

by Manjit Kumar

Icon Books: 2008. 480 pp. £20
