This month we are reading Helgoland, by Carlo Rovelli.

Werner Heisenberg secluded himself on the island of Helgoland while developing the basic ideas of quantum mechanics in 1925.  In this introduction to the theory that he developed while isolated, Rovelli tells the story of how Heisenberg conjured up some of the most remarkable insights into the nature of reality. What did you think of Rovelli's storytelling, and how he explains quantum mechanics?
