How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog by Chad Orzel part 2

I don't usually review books until I have finished reading them but I will make an exception with How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog by Chad Orzel. To me this is the best primer to quantum physics I have read so far, due mainly to Orzel's witty style and uncomplicated explanations of very complicated material.  Although he does not delve very deep into each area, he provides a good understanding before tackling more academic books on the subject.  Even subjects such as decoherence and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle are explained to help the layman understand what they are.

How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog by Chad Orzel

After finishing my quantum computing book by John Gribbin, I have bought the Kindle version of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog  by Chad Orzel.  Here Orzel tries to communicate the intricacies of quantum physics through a mythical conversation with his pet dog.  I guess the dog will have a few questions for him. I will post more about this book after I have read a bit more.
