The Atomic World Spooky? It Ain't Necessarily So!
Atlantis Press (Zeger Karssen) (Verlag)
978-94-6239-233-5 (ISBN)
The book is almost formula-free, and explains everything by using many sketches and diagrams. The mathematical derivations underlying the main text arekept separate in a -peer reviewed - appendix. The author, a retired professor of Flight Mechanics and Propulsion at the Delft University of Technology, chose to publish his findings in this mixed popular and scientific form, because he found that interested laymen more often than professional physicists feel the need to form visualisations of quantum phenomena.
