A simple solution to the 'What can I get for their birthday' problem.
This
book invites you to take a tour of the Universe and its many wonders in the company of Bob and Alec, two lifelong friends who meet several
times a year to play a round of golf for their personal trophy. Due to a chance meeting in the clubhouse, their converstations as thay play
round the golf course turns to how much our ever growing knowledge of the Universe has extended and enriched our lives and given us all the
high-tech goodies that today we take for granted.
'18 Holes of Quantum
Golf is a story that shows the true value of friendship. It's a book that encourages passion toward one's goals in life and I love how the
author used two senior citizens playing a round of golf to highlight the importance of caring, friendship, love, marriage and, most
importantly, to explain how science has enabled us to gain a better understanding about the world around us. Also, I loved the addition of
humour in between the lines of the story which adds to the point that the author is explaining. As a lover of history and a science
enthusiast, tho' not a golfer, this was a delightful read. The book will be educational for people who want an easy introduction to the
growth of science and the many impacts it has had on our modern world.'

The game in front of Bob and Alec are very slow and this gives them plenty of time to chat between shots. These chats build
up to an explanation of the the history of science starting with Thales of Miletus, 2,800 years ago in Ancient Greece and covering all the
major advances right up to the Large Hadron Collider and the explosion in our knowledge over the last century. It's a compelling tale told by
the golfers in their normal everyday language with no technical jargon which the reader has to puzzle
over.
