From the reviews of the fourth edition: "This book is aimed at beginners in quantum mechanics who want to gain some insight into the various physical phenomena which happen at the (sub)atomic scale, and for which no daily experience is available. It will serve as a good complement to standard textbooks of quantum mechanics since it contains many carefully produced pictures to illustrate the fundamental concepts and ideas from quantum physics--highlighting in particular how the concepts and predictions of classical mechanics are altered and supplemented by wavelike behaviors."
