约翰·格里宾，剑桥大学天体物理学博士，英国苏塞克斯大学客座研究员，《新科学家》杂志顾问，一位卓有成就的理论天体物理学家。他学识渊博，涉猎广泛，科学研究之余创作了大量的畅销科普书，包括《寻找薛定谔的猫》、《奥米伽点》、《大爆炸探秘》、《宇宙的发端》、《迷人的科学风采——费恩曼传》等。他的书已翻译成多种语言，在英国和美国都获得过奖励。他也撰写科幻作品。约翰·格里宾现与妻子玛丽(也是一位科普作家)和两个儿子住在苏塞克斯。

Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the comp...(展开全部)

The search began with Darwin's historic voyage on the Beagle and it continues today in the laboratories of the genetic engineers. How did life on earth begin? What is the key to evolution that insures only the fittest survive? How do we differ from other species? And how might tomorrow's scientists read—and alter—the biological blueprint to eliminate disease, birth defects, and...(展开全部)

In this eagerly anticipated sequel to the classic bestseller In Search of Schrodinger's Cat, John Gribbin digs even deeper into the mysterious and confounding world of quantum mechanics. Gribbin takes infinitely complex, mind-bending experiments, brings them to life, and makes them accessible to the lay reader. Under his deft guidance, we can begin to grasp the fundamental ridd...(展开全部)

Written for advanced undergraduates, physicists, and historians and philosophers of physics, this book tells the story of the development of our understanding of quantum phenomena through the extraordinary years of the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rather than following the standard axiomatic approach, this book adopts a historical perspective, explaining clearl...(展开全部)
