Improbable Research. Scientific, Technical and Medical: In Search of Schrodinger's Cat by John Gribbin (1985) Scientific, Technical and Medical: Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality: The Quantum Mysteries Solved by John Gribbin (1996) I remember as a child, of only 8 or 9, the excitement I felt when I was given the freedom to choose one item, any item, from the gift shop of the science museum that my paretns had taken me and my sister to.

Scientific, Technical and Medical: Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality: The Quantum Mysteries Solved by John Gribbin (1996)

I pulled off the shelf a rather large book; 'Time and Space'. It was whilst flipping through the pages that I first came across the name Schrodinger.It was that name which was largely responsible for the very strange life I would lead over the next several years, as a primary school child who dreamt of photons and quarks, black holes and time travel... and one terribly mistreated cat.John Gribbin is a particular favourite of mine, amongst the rather convoluted genre that is 'Popular Science'.
