"Paradox" is a discussion of and in most cases resolutions of the nine greatest enigmas in physics. The author, Jim Al-Khalili a quantum physicist at the University of Surrey and the recipient of the Royal Society, Michael Farady Prize and the Institute of Physics Kelvin Medal, starts with what at first appear to be paradoxes in probability and covers paradoxes in motion, relativity, time travel, Schroedinger's cat, and others. The book is written but probably at too low a level for readers with a background in physics.
