I am reading Quantum by Manjit Kumar from which I discovered the Complementarity Principle which was fathered by Niels Bohr. Imagine the jolt I received when I read Allister MacFarlane's article in PN issue 80 about complementarity and reality.

I too am reading Quantum and, although I am finding it a bit turgid, I am finding Kumar's approach interesting. However, anyone interested in learning more about quantum mechanics may find Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time (ch.4) more accessible - or even Quantum Theory For Beginners by J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate.
