Reviews
The work of John Bell is integral to modern quantum theory through his famous theorem which sparked a new age of foundational and experimental research; but very little is known about Bell's background and private life. Here Andrew Whitaker has given us a superbly written and insightful biography, free of technicalities and rich in historical detail. Essential reading for physicists and philosophers of physics., "The presentation is rather fascinating and non-mathematical in nature, and some effort is made to provide a thorough but comprehensible account of any area of Bell's work, not limited to quantum theory... [the author] unveils a number of extremely valuable works on the study of accelerators, nuclear physics and the physics of elementary particles, which we now recognize to be widely neglected." -- Salvatore Esposito, Mathematical Reviews Clippings, Mathematical Reviews Clippings

Synopsis
This book gives a readable non-mathematical account of the upbringing, education and academic achievement of John Stewart Bell, the celebrated physicist from Belfast, who was born in 1928.Bell has become famous for what he described as his 'hobby', analysing the fundamental aspects of quantum theory, where he clarified a long-standing debate between the two most important figures of twentieth century physics, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, and showed that, contrary to belief over the previous thirty years, quantum theory could be supplemented with extra 'hidden variables'. His crucial 'Bell's Theorem' or 'Bell's Inequalities' demonstrated a contradiction between quantum theory and local causality. This relation has been tested with increasing rigour over the next years, and quantum theory has triumphed. His ideas were also important in the development of quantum information theory, which covers quantum computation, quantum cryptography and quantum teleportation.The book covers his earlier work at Harwell, where he worked on the design of accelerators, making extremely important contributions to the physics of strong focussing. He later moved to CERN in Geneva where he carried out highly significant work in the fields of elementary particles and quantum field theory. It also covers some details of Bell's personal life, including his marriage while he was at Harwell to Mary Ross, who also worked in the physics of accelerators, and also describes his career decade by decade, and sums up his importance to twentieth-century physics., This book gives a readable non-mathematical account of the upbringing, education and academic achievement of John Stewart Bell, the celebrated physicist from Belfast, who was born in 1928.Bell has become famous for what he described as his "hobby", analysing the fundamental aspects of quantum theory, where he clarified a long-standing debate between the two most important figures of twentieth century physics, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, and showed that, contrary to belief over the previous thirty years, quantum theory could be supplemented with extra "hidden variables".

- s***u (212)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI purchased Gods of Asgard graphic novel on 9/3 and it arrived on 9/11. It was as described and as pictured, gently used and clean with no markings. Tracking the order was easy and it arrived by USPS with no damage. I am happy 😀 with my purchase, fair purchase price and that the eBay Seller included the shipping costs into the purchase price.🏆 The eBay seller packaged well. I would recommend this eBay Seller and their store.👍🏼 It was nice doing business with them. Thank you
- i***. (123)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéOverall, positive experience since seller made some effort to make things right. Seller did not pack this book well at all. Book arrived damaged due to insufficient packing (book was packed in a flimsy shipping bag). Was clearly creased on the spine despite "very good" description. Seller helped by giving me a partial refund. Still disappointed in the poor packing. Hopefully they learn to pack properly otherwise I won't be buying again from them.
- o***n (133)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéAfter ordering this from 4 other sellers who said they were selling this edition then shipped the cheaper reissue to me this seller shipped exactly what was pictured and it’s in great same as stated on the listing. This seller was spectacular at answering some questions presale and I’d 100% order from them again. Thabks!!!!!!
