"Particularly impressive in all of Schrödinger's writings presented here is the frank tentative and open approach that he takes. ... The work is interesting and valuable to non-experts, such as some artists, who might find the mathematics hard going." (Ernest Edmonds and Mike Leggett, Leonardo, .leonardo.info, May, 2019)
