{"product_id":"reflections-on-experimental-science-martin-lewis-perl-9789810225742","title":"Reflections on Experimental Science: Selected Papers","description":"This is a collection of important lecture and original articles and commentaries by Martin Perl, discoverer of the tau lepton and the third generation of elementary particles, and this year's Nobel Prize winner. This book contains a fascinating and realistic picture of experimental science based on the high energy physics research work carried out by him. Using reprints of his articles with his commentaries, the author presents the various aspects of experimental research in science: the pleasures and risks of experimental work; the pain and frustration with experiments that are useless or fail; the dreaming about experiments that were not carried out; the constant search for innovation and creativity in the work; and the special joy of discovery. The articles and commentaries range from the early days of bubble chambers and spark chambers in the 1950's to the author's present research, experiments at an electron-positron collider and a search for free quarks. The book is for the general reader as well as the scientist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Lewis Perl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810225741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810225742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.28h x 7.53w x 1.13d","brand":"Martin Lewis Perl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079686648063,"sku":"9789810225742","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47e90db1-25ba-423a-840e-6135ae44cf0a.jpg?v=1685482556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reflections-on-experimental-science-martin-lewis-perl-9789810225742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
