The Particle Explosion by Fe Close
This guide takes the reader on an illustrated journey into the sub-atomic world discovered by physicists over the past century. The authors describe the fundamental discoveries and the developments in equipment which have led to our current understanding of the nature of matter in the universe and the forces which govern its behaviour. Non-technical portraits of all major sub-atomic particles are given, from the electron, proton and neutron, through to quarks and muons.Frank Close is the author of 15 popular physics books, including Half-Life, a biography of Bruno Pontecorvo, Antimatter, The Infinity Problem, and Very Short Introductions to Nothing and Particle Physics, which won an award. He is a former Head of Communications and Public Education at CERN and a professor of physics at Oxford University. He received the Royal Society's Michael Faraday Award for science communication in 2014, and he is the only scientist to have won the Association of British Science Writers' Prize three times.
