In Scrooge’s Cryptic Carol: Three Visions of Energy, Time and Quantum Reality
by Robert Gilmore (Sigma Press, £9.95, ISBN 1 85058 531 8), Scrooge is
visited by spirits who take him, willy-nilly, through past, present and weird
physics (future not being available). He is a changed and better educated man at
the end of it. So should you, the reader be, as long as you can swallow the
Christmas Carol conceit. The spirits are relentlessly didactic, carrying on as
if they have a phantom script. The light-hearted drawings help.
