This authoritative biography addresses the life and work of the quantum physicist David Bohm. Although quantum physics is considered the soundest physical theory, its strange and paradoxical features have challenged - and continue to challenge - even the brightest thinkers. David Bohm dedicated his entire life to enhancing our understanding of quantum mysteries, in particular quantum nonlocality. His work took place at the height of the cultural/political upheaval in the 1950''s, which led him to become the most notable American scientist to seek exile in the last century. The story of his life is as fascinating as his ideas on the quantum world are appealing. 

Industry Reviews

"Freire' book is not only enriching those already interested in David Bohm and the history of quantum mechanics. It also shows what a scientific biography can do for the historical understanding of physics. The book is highly recommended." (Christian Forstner, Physics in Perspective, Vol. 22, 2020)
