520    "Quantum physics explores the behavior of matter and 
       energy at the atomic and subatomic levels--and is very 
       complex and confusing subject.  But with this clear and 
       insightful guide by your side, you skip the complicated 
       math and easily get to know the concepts, paradoxes, 
       experiments, and more that make quantum physics so 
       fascinating.  In it, you get: The discoveries of Planck, 
       Bohr, Heisenberg, Schroedinger, Einstein, and other 
       quantum physicists.  A primer on the three basic quantum 
       postulates.  A look at matter waves, the quantum wave 
       function, and other aspects of quantum mechanics.  An 
       exploration of grand unification and the "theory of 
       everything."  Everyday applications of quantum physics--
       and what we can expect in the future,"--page [4] of cover.
