From Quarks to the Cosmos by Leon M Lederman

From Quarks to the Cosmos by Leon M Lederman

Particle physicists explore the microworld of the atom; cosmologists study the universe on a large scale. This study follows the merger of these fields as the authors seek to define the "theory of everything". It describes the development of the current views of the nature of space, time, matter and fundamental forces, and explores what these views reveal about the formation of the universe. The text expands on some of the discoveries of 20th-century science, the explorations of inner space and outer space, and of the promises they hold for decoding beginnings, ends and the ultimate laws of nature.

Leon Lederman, Ph.D., is the emeritus director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Pritzker Professor of Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and a resident scholar at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988. The Wolf Prize and the Enrico Fermi Award are two of the many honours he has received for his contributions to science.
