Reader's note

This vintage Pelican paperback is a 1963 edition of The Strange Story of the Quantum by Banesh Hoffman. Many laymen, even if they have heard of quantum theory and of Max Planck, probably do no more than connect them vaguely with modern advances in physics. This book employs all fair means, including humour, anecdote, and analogy, to make clear to the non-scientist exactly what quantum theory is and how its development has decisively affected the world. On this revolutionary concept the sophisticated structure of modern atomic physics is balanced.
