Book Synopsis
Quantum puzzles in everyday life

Trade Review

"Far from being completely counterintuitive and beyond our experience, the findings of quantum physics have many analogs in everyday life, which we have simply not seen because of the grip of the classical worldview on our thinking.... Everyday Quantum Reality makes an important and original argument." —Alexander Wendt, author of Social Theory of International Politics
