John Gribbin (born 19 March 1946) is a British science writer and astrophysicist by training.[1]
Career and work
Gribbin has written extensively for general audiences on astronomy, cosmology, quantum theory, climate, and the history of science.[1][2]
In the QFT further-reading list he appears through Q is for Quantum: Particle Physics from A to Z, a reference-style popular-science guide to quantum and particle-physics concepts.[3]
His role in the Quantum Collection is therefore different from that of the technical textbook authors: he provides a general-reader route into the vocabulary and historical setting of quantum physics.[3][2]
Selected works
- In Search of Schrödinger's Cat.
- Q is for Quantum: Particle Physics from A to Z.
- Science: A History.
