Grade 10 Up Apfel shows how many elementary particles of matter and energy were discovered. In a clear though difficult book, she traces the discovery of elementary particles and the development of particle physics. There are no other books with as much depth for lay people. Even though the subject is extremely complicated, Apfel's book will be an excellent introduction for anyone who wants to delve into the smallest pieces of energy or matter. Andrea G. Steinhilper, Spokane County Library District, Wash.
