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 turn to how much our ever increasing knowledge of the Universe has
lengthened and enriched all of our lives and produced the profusion of technological 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.' - Reviewed in Online Book

The golfers playing ahead of Bob and Alec are very slow giving them plenty of time for chats between shots which combine to
tell the history of science starting with Thales 2,800 years ago in Ancient Greece. The story pays tribute to the immortals - Aristotle,
Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and continues right up to the explosion in our knowledge over the last hundred years. It's a compelling tale which
is told by the golfers in their normal chatty language with no technical jargon for the readers to puzzle over. The book is also available as
a birthday, or other, gift by clicking 'Buy for others' with a personalised gift card included if required.
p.s. It's not all about science as there's other matters to be discussed and a unique golf
match to be won.
