Exploring Quantum Physics through Hands-on projects, David and Shanni Prutch. (Wiley, 2012)

A unique book - instead of concentrating on theoretical quantum mechanics, this book details experiments that you can perform to observe quantum phenomena.  The range of experiments is wide - everything from Young's double slit experiment to quantum entanglement and quantum cryptography.  The book explains how to do the experiments and how to find and build the instrumentation that you need.  Every physics students should be aware of this work.  You can get a flavor of the text by visiting the author's website.  If you like to build things and tinker with equipment, this is a website that you will bookmark.
