Colinsmum - is the Uncle Albert book really good, as the other Stannard books I've bought have been a liitle lightweight. I did look at this but Amazon doesn't let me 'look inside'.
I have been looking at Jim Al-Khalili's "Quantum - A Guide For Te Perplexed" and I might read that with him - maybe he will follow the bits I can't and vice versa and so far it looks pretty good.
Iucouno - the Dr. Quantum has a couple of videos on Youtube. I think they come from a5 DVD set that I found on Amazon. A lot of the reviews were a little guarded about the series due to it becoming "new-agey" and "para-scientific' so this put me off buying them. the Youtube ones I found are great tho'. I'm going to work through the links you have posted.
La Texican - I'm going to check out your recommendations too, many thanks.
I'll keep looking and keep you all posted
