Descrizione del libro

Originally published in 1993, this book of essays is a largely nonmathematical account of some of the strange behaviour, both classical and quantum, exhibited by moving particles, fluids and waves. The essays address questions or controversies from whose resolution emerge lessons of general significance regarding the mystery and fascination of motion.
