Fields of Color: The Theory that Escaped Einstein

by Rodney A. Brooks

Fields of Color explains Quantum Field Theory to a lay audience without equations. It shows how this often overlooked theory resolves the weirdness of Quantum Mechanics and the paradoxes of Relativity. The third edition contains a new solution to the measurement problem ("the most controversial problem in physics today") and shows the quantum basis for Einstein's famous E = mc2.
