Praise for Helgoland:

“This entertaining and legible guide paints the history of quantum theory and lays out its possible meanings.” ?Scientific American

“[An] intellectually exhilarating dive into the profoundest scientific conundrums.”??Booklist, STARRED REVIEW

“Physicist Rovelli (The Order of Time) dazzles with this look at the 'almost psychedelic experience’ of understanding quantum theory…These are big ideas, but Rovelli easily leads readers through the knotty logic, often with lyricism…Readers who follow along will be left in awe.” ?Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

“Charmingly idiosyncratic. . . . [Rovelli is] perhaps the finest author now writing on physics and the quantum world.” ?The Article

“Rovelli’s gift is to bring difficult ideas down a level. His books continue a tradition of jargon-free popular scientific writing from Galileo to Darwin that disappeared in the academic specialisations of the past century. . . . As a happy integration of science, literature and philosophy, Helgoland owes something to the Italian chemist-writer Primo Levi. . . .Rovelli is a deep-thinking, restlessly inquiring spirit who sees no incompatibility between physics and philosophy ? only mutual attraction.” ?The Observer

“Rovelli is a genius and an amazing communicator… This is the place where science comes to life.”??Neil Gaiman
?
“Helgoland?is?Rovelli’s most beautiful yet… Unforgettable.” ―The London Times

“The greatest popularizer of physics today. We are left in a world that is not disenchanted by science, but even more magical.”??Financial Times

“Rovelli is?a deep-thinking, restlessly inquiring spirit.” ?London Observer

“A remarkably wide-ranging new meditation?on quantum theory with?the light touch of a skilled storyteller.” ―The Guardian

“If anyone can make sense of the topsy-turvy, counterintuitive world of quantum physics, it is Carlo Rovelli.”?―The Times

“Inspiring.” ―Spectator
