Beyond the God Particle

”“These are exciting times for particle physics. With their customary charm and wit, Lederman and Hill take us on a fascinating tour of where we’ve been and where we’re going and, along the way, give the best description of the Higgs boson I’ve ever seen. A great read.” —James Trefil, Clarence J. Robinson Professor of Physics, George Mason University, coauthor of Dictionary of Cultural LiteracyPraise for the books of Lederman and Hill: “A tour de force of physics made simple….” —Times Literary Supplement “Few books about modern physics are as fascinating, far-ranging, and readable as this.”—NSTA Recommends “Thought-provoking.”—Discover
