Synopsis
From the first attempts to split the atom to the discovery of the top quark, the 20th century has witnessed a revolution in basic physics. Probing successively smaller constituents of matter has also revealed the conditions present at the time of the Big Bang. In a series of essays by scientists who have been closely involved in this exciting research, The Particle Century describes the unprecedented advances in our understanding of the universe. The book covers major historical developments as well as current advances, including early accelerator physics, the rise of the Standard Model, new comprehension of the big bang theory, and the cutting edge of today's investigations. These essays add novel insight into the continuing efforts to unravel the deepest secrets of nature.

About the Author
Gordon Fraser
Review
Among the authors of these 20 essays there are sufficient 'good communicators' that the serious reader can learn a great deal about the science, and there are sufficient 'great names' to give a thrill of authenticity from the first-hand accounts of the discoveries. And some of the 'great names' are among the best communicators.
-Nature
...to have produced such a collection of articles on a somewhat esoteric subject at a level that is comprehensible to the non-specialist is a considerable achievement.
-Physics World
[T]his is a fascinating and entertaining history of particle physics; most older particle physicists, dare I use the word older, will treasure it. ... this is the book I will give to all my beginning graduate students in particle physics; if this doesn't stimulate them to wonderful dreams and hopes, nothing will.
-Martin Perl, APS History of Physics Forum Newsletter
