A tour of the subatomic zoo : a guide to particle physics

This popular book introduces the ideas, terminology, and techniques of high-energy physics. Insights into the structure of matter from the atom down to the quark are made accessible to readers who have no physics background. "With hardly a mathematical formula, Ms. Schwarz clearly explains the language and much of the substance of elementary particle physics." -FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY STANLEY GLASHOW, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, NOBEL LAUREATE
