Particle Physics Made Simple: A Weekend Pocketbook on Particle Physics In Everyday Language (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789199155203)

Journey into the world of Particle Physics by cracking open the Atom. From Electrons to Quarks, Neutrinos to Positrons, you'll meet the full cast of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, the fundamental particles that build everything from your body to black holes.

We'll explore the wild experiments that proved atoms aren't indivisible, the rise of quantum mechanics, where particles act like waves, and nothing makes sense until it does. We talk about the prediction and discovery of antimatter, the "particle zoo" of the 20th century, and how scientists brought order to the chaos with the quark model and symmetry.

If you've ever looked up at the stars and wondered what you're really made of, this is for you
