Books on Quantum Mechanics

[midgetsy]

I'm a freshmen in high school and I'm getting interested in quantum mechanics. I've been reading The Dancing Wu Li Masters, By Gary Zukav and it's quite good. Does anyone know any other books on quantum mechanics or physics that would be good for starters, or, freshmens, rather. :D

Hmm...
1. Fresher and Physics student: Stephen Gasirowich: Quantum Physics.
2. Fresher and Physics enthusiast: Feynman : Lectures in Physics : Vol III
3. Fresher but hardcore Physics student: Pauli Lectures or Dirac Lectures.

{My teacher always said to learn things from who build them }
Alwayas have the book : \"Mathematics of physics\" ready in your hand!

a book called
Concepts of Quantum Mechanics by G. V. Sakhurai
would be helpfull

i can\'t seem to find any of these books on amazon.com or the barnes and noble website, can you tell me where to find them, or at least send me the amazon or barnes and noble links to those books?

Collective Electrodynamics by C.A. Mead. A must-read. He continues Feynman\'s program for QED, by eliminating entirely the need for Maxwell\'s equations.

Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics by John Cramer (download it from the internet). A further continuation of Einstein/Bohm Feynman to give a modern rational treatment of Quantum Mechanics as Feynman would have hoped for and Einstein would have approved.

For good easy-reading explanations without math, turn to Quantum Reality by Herbert. An excellent explanation of EPR, Bell, and even Fourier Analysis as applied to QM without any math.

The Infamous Boundary by Wick, is essential reading for the history of ideas in Quantum Mechanics at an easy accessible level.

For serious books, ask me.

you guys know any books combining philosophy and QM

You could try David Albert\'s books. Or I kinda liked Ontological Aspects of Quantum Field Theory.
