My after reading review (November 14, 2020):- No doubt, Quantum Theory is the most successful scientific discovery in the entire human history. At the same time it confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which contradict the logic of classical physics and come out with a lot of questions. And these scientific questions make the theory more fascinating and attract scientists from all over the world to learn and dig into this mysterious theory. Right now quantum theory is the hot topic in the entire science community. Our understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe and how it works is continuously changing as we are digging the theory more and more.

From high school physics classes I am fascinated about this new topic of physics. Quantum Theory has been developing for the last 100 years. It started in the late 19th century and continues. Right now the theory is in it’s infant state. However there are many famous physicists like Plank, Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Shrodinger etc. contributed to develop the theory. It didn’t happen overnight. The puzzle of the wave-particle duality, Bohr’s “Copenhagen Interpretation”, the famous “dead and alive cat”, the “EPR Paradox”, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and the structure of an atom etc. are still unsolved.  

Now come to this book. This introductory book is generally designed for teens to get interested in this fascinating theory. So obviously it is written in easy language and with less mathematical equations. So people who are not science students can also read and understand the book. Basically the book does not describe the theory itself. Instead it is more about the developments of quantum theory over the years - how different physicists contributed to discover different facts of quantum theory etc. This is more like the history book of quantum theory in a very fun and story telling way. It’s a very brief book full of illustrations. It’s very enjoyable to read. Everyone should read  and learn about the most fascinating discovery in human history, at least in introductory level.

My after reading review (November 11, 2020):- Bodyweight exercise is probably the most common strength training exercise in the world. Resistance training using your own body weight is called bodyweight exercise. Some most common bodyweight exercises are push up, chin up, dip, sit up, squat etc. These types of exercises are not new to me. I have been doing bodyweight workouts for almost 15 years. But still there are so many different types of variations of different exercises. There are so many different types of exercises I need to know. That’s why I bought this book and read it.

As I expected I learned so many different types of new exercises from this book. Though the book is not complete. There are several exercises I do regularly that are not included in the book. However the book is full of useful and effective exercises. All over it is a great bodyweight exercise book for everyone from athletes to bodybuilders, for general fitness purpose users to fat loss etc. it doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced user, the book fits the needs of everyone. The book covers whole body parts to workout - arms, neck and shoulder, chest, core, back, thighs, glutes and calves with full illustrations.

The best thing I like about bodyweight is That you don’t need to buy expensive gym equipment or don’t need to go to the gym to workout. You can workout at home with almost on equipment or using some household furniture. This book explains every exercise very effectively. So not doing workout and not being physically fit is just another unnecessary excuse in the case of bodyweight. So, stay fit, stay healthy.
