Mx Autumn reviewed Doctor Who by Mark Morris
A dutiful translation of the on screen episode
3 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this episode of Doctor Who and upon seeing this book available in my local library I snapped at the chance to read more detail than could be shown on screen.
Alas, this is instead a faithful translation of the on-screen episode that while good in its own right provides no additional insight or extra scenes to what could be watched on screen.
It was fun to reimagine the adventure through the medium of a book and having previously watched the episode I was able to imbue the pages with the marvelous performances of David Tennant and Catherine Tate.
While disappointed at the lack of any embellishment upon the original televised episode I did enjoy reading this book.

Mx Autumn reviewed Introducing Quantum Theory by Oscar Zarate
A beautifully illustrated true story about how and why quantum theory was invented
5 stars
I borrowed this book from my local Library because the illustrations within looked interesting and certainly different from any other book that I have read on Quantum Theory.
Contained within its pages is a beautifully illustrated true story about how and why quantum theory was invented and an introduction to some of the most remarkable physicists from the past few centuries, their relationship to one another and the part they played in bringing the Quantum world into sharp focus.
While occasionally going into considerable depth, this book largely explains Quantum mechanics in very broad brushstrokes. As I understand it, the purpose of this book isn't to impart a deep knowledge but to instead instill a sense of wonder and inspire a broader interest, to that end I believe it succeeds.
This is an excellent introduction to the field of Quantum Theory, it leaves the door open for other books to …

This is an excellent introduction to the field of Quantum Theory, it leaves the door open for other books to fill in the gaps. Well worth the time spent reading.
