Quantum. The units of emitted energy. A Quantum Book is a short study distinctive for the author's ability to offer a richness of detail and insight within about one hundred pages of print. Short enough to be read in an evening and significant enough to be a book.

Recensioner i media

"Ruth Mellinkoff is an art historian who has done rather more, in this slim volume, than to expound the relationship between Scripture and imagination in the story of Cain and the mark God set on him. Her exposition is very skillful but has wider implications. It reminds us of the fascination of this legend, and of its extraordinary complexity. . . . This book does not claim to be a comprehensive or conclusive treatment of its subject: it is rather demonstrative and suggestive. In it however, Dr. Mellinkoff has found a theme, and expounded a thesis, that her colleagues will envy."
