From Amazon:

Featuring at No. 1 best seller in Rock Music Books on Amazon.com & given 5 stars by Professor Ken Campbell, renowned historian & Beatles author. Review: - * described by him as 'unlike virtually any other book you will read on the Beatles. - The Beatles & their journey into Beatledom is thoughtful, imaginative, exuberantly written and painstakingly crafted.

The Beatles, a rich topic to explore with their legacy and impact on music. There's so much to unpack about the lyrical themes and musical composition of their songs. Here we look at the context of when each song was written, the personal experiences that inspired the Beatles and their social and cultural impact.

Did you know, The Beatles were futuristic prophets who actually wrote about quantum physics and the nature of reality? For example, the Lennon lyric 'nothing is real' is an epithet from Niels Bohr which is often used as a reference to the philosophical implications of quantum physics and how our understanding of reality can be called into question. McCartney wrote Here, there and everywhere, which describes the process of superposition, a core concept of quantum physics, referring to how a particle can exist in multiple states at the same time.

Beatledom then ultimately is a land where multiple synchronicities collide in an array of unexpected but significant coincidences too numerous to ignore & these are explored through their songs in a way that has never quite been done before in Beatles’ studies or scholarship.

This book is unique in that it provides multiple perspectives on each song in The Beatles' catalog, exploring them through biography, geography, philosophy, sociology, politics, drug culture, and even quantum physics. The book offers a fresh and fascinating take on The Beatles' music, and is a great read for fans who are interested in exploring the many layers of meaning and context behind each song.
