Quantum Astrologer's Handbook by Michael Brooks

Michael Brooks brings Renaissance polymath Jerome Cardano into an inventive account of mathematics and modern physics. Physician, gambler and astrologer, Cardano becomes the link between sixteenth-century intellectual life and questions about probability and the quantum world.

Part biography and part history of science, The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook uses a playful narrative approach to explain ideas that reach well beyond horoscopes. Choose it for an exploration of scientific thought and a remarkable historical life, not for instructions on interpreting your birth chart.
