The author takes a historical approach showing what problems with a Newtonian-based view quantum theory was reacting to and then how it has developed over the years. The easiest parts of the maths involved are relegated to an appendix, although the author stresses that it's impossible to fully understand the theory without the maths. Even in this stripped down form I was struggling but I think I did get glimmers of understanding here and there.

TheSpineView That looks like a good book. Is it overly complicated? 3w
rwmg @TheSpineView I'm about 1/2 way through. He's taking us through it historically, which I think does make it easier to follow than a topical overview would. For the most part he has relegated the maths to an appendix but often warns us that it's a recurring problem that people can do the maths but that doesn't mean we actually understand what's going on in real life and without the maths even less so.

DNF I read the introduction and the first chapter and realised I had not understood a word of it despite no technical musical terms having been used at all.

After a quick run down through the life (which we don't know much about (but more than I thought)), the author looks at Elizabethan theatre and the poems, then takes us through WS's output, play by play. A short final chapter looks at WS's influence and reputation. The descriptions of the plays were too short to be useful unless you already knew the play. I think this could have been shortened and more time spent on the final chapter.

TheBookHippie I think by us reading this or these we are reading what is without the extremist views, mostly and I think it is really smart to do. I think we have pre conceived notions about all people and religions and when reading we see there is not much different in any religion and also how far extremist take it...if that makes sense..... 12mo

TheBookHippie The Prophet (SAAS) says: 'Women are the (equal) sisters of men'. Women make up half of society and they are responsible for the nurturing, guidance and reformation of the subsequent generations of men and women. It is the female who imbues principles and faith into the souls of the nation.
I remember reading this and thinking how close it is to Judaism and how far it is from Christianity .........

This was my understanding before reading this

TheBookHippie I believe we are a soul, first. But that's my hippie side I am sure. 12mo
