Our modern world explained during a round golf

 The world aroud us explained in simple language

Have you ever wondered why everything in the universe fits together the way it does? Or why we're the fortunate inheritors of a very rare planetary oasis that has the unique ability to create, evolve and support lifeforms such as ours? Given that human life on our planet started  200,000 years ago, how have we been able to make such giant strides in our knowledge of actions throughout the universe from the largest to the smallest scale. Knowledge that has enabled us to put people on the Moon, look inside atoms and given us  the vast range of technological marvels that are so much a part of our life today. 

18 Holes of Quantum Golf tells the story of how  our modern world began 2,800 years ago in the Greek City-State of Miletus where an erudite Greek called Thales, the first modern philosopher, started an academy which  taught that there are rational explanations for the world around us that didn't involve ancient myths , superstitions or the passing whims of Greek Gods.  Over the years our knowledge of the world around us has grown, sometimes in baby steps and sometimes in  giant leaps, courtesy of people such as Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and many brilliant others. The story is narated by the golfers in a series of chats as they wait between shots and it's told in their normal everyday language with no technical jargon for the reader to puzzle over.

'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 and most importantly, to explain how science has enabled us to gain a better understanding of 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 golfers are explaining. As a lover of history and a science enthusiast, tho' not a golfer, this was a delightful read. The book is in plain English with no technical jargon and 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 Club.
