The Quantum Moment: How Planck, Bohr, Einstein, and Heisenberg Taught Us to Love Uncertainty   Robert P. Crease Alfred and Alfred Scharff Goldhaber
Well-written, interesting, and informative discussion of the development of quantum theory and mechanics. Good history, and historical and scientific analysis, with special care for the impact on society and culture in general. Based on the course they teach at Stony Brook. Learned a lot, and enjoyed the read.
