An essay in scientometry. 330 $aThis authoritative biography addresses the life and work of the quantum physicist David Bohm. Although quantum physics is considered the soundest physical theory, its strange and paradoxical features have challenged - and continue to challenge - even the brightest thinkers. David Bohm dedicated his entire life to enhancing our understanding of quantum mysteries, in particular quantum nonlocality. His work took place at the height of the cultural/political upheaval in the 1950's, which led him to become the most notable American scientist to seek exile in the last century. The story of his life is as fascinating as his ideas on the quantum world are appealing. 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0613 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 14$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a530.01 676 $a530.092 700 $aFreire Junior$b Olival$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061443 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349502103321 996 $aDavid Bohm$92543445 997 $aUNINA
