The Quantum Astrologer’s Handbook at Wigtown Book Festival

Michael Brooks will be appearing at Wigtown Book Festival to talk about his new book The Quantum Astrologer's Handbook — the story of 16th century polymath Jerome Cardano.

A gambler and blasphemer, inventor and chancer, plagued by demons and anxieties, astrologer to kings, emperors and popes, Jerome Cardano was the son of a lawyer and a brothel keeper, but also a gifted physician and the unacknowledged discoverer of the mathematical foundations of quantum physics. That is the argument of this charming and intoxicatingly clever book, which is truly original in its style. Michael Brooks is a journalist and broadcaster. His previous books include the bestselling non-fiction title 13 Things That Don’t Make Sense.

Wigtown Book Festival is a 10-day literary celebration held in Scotland's national book town.
