really liked it

An excellent account of the social -- and interpersonal -- history surrounding uncertainty in science. Accessible to the layperson (me). However, at the key juncture where Heisenberg intuits the structural, irreducibly uuncertain aspects of quantum behavior, the author may have erred too far on the side of accessibility. He needed to slow down and explain with 10% more rigor what Heisenberg et al actually determined. I was ready to do the work, but the author didn't really give me the chance. But overall a great, considered read.
