Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dustjacket as issued. First edition. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's largest and highest energy and highest intensity particle accelerator. Here is a timely book with several perspectives on the hoped-for discoveries from the LHC. This book provides an overview on the techniques that will be crucial for finding new physics at the LHC, as well as perspectives on the importance and implications of the discoveries. Among the accomplished contributors to this book are leaders and visionaries in the field of particle physics beyond the Standard Model, including two Nobel Laureates (Steven Weinberg and Frank Wilczek), and presumably some future Nobel Laureates, plus top younger theorists and experimenters. With its blend of popular and technical contents, the book will have wide appeal, not only to physical scientists but also to those in related fields. Inscribed by Aaron Pierce to Martin Flug. Mr. Flug was, among many things, a Trustee of the Aspen Center for Physics, Life Trustee of the Aspen Music Festival and School. He was also a Benefactor of the Martin R. Flug Professorship of International Law, the Ernest Rubenstein Scholarship and the Samuel S. Flug Memorial Scholarship, all at Yale Law School, and of the Samuel S. and Evelyn R. Flug Scholarship Fund at Harvard College, Past Board Member and Officer of the Aspen Country Day School, Past Chairman of United Way of Rye, NY, Past President of Manursing Island Club, NY. In honor of his mother and his own dedication to children's education, he founded and supported the Evelyn R. Flug Children's Library in Aspen, and a private foundation to support experiments in education. But a simple even if impressively lengthy list of boards and titles does not capture his deep involvement and commitment to causes and activities he cared about. In Aspen, inspired by his early friendship with local newspaper publisher Bil Dunaway, Martin Flug reveled in mountain life with the same intensity he brought to all his endeavors. He bicycled all summer, including his iconic rides in Aspen's Fourth of July parades, dressed in an Uncle Sam suit. He skied with abandon every winter and was an early aficionado of uphill skiing, long before it enjoyed its current wave of popularity skiing up Buttermilk and then descending with glee. His skiing adventures extended to heli-skiing in Canada, where (as he loved to tell the story) he once brought an end to a season-long snow drought by leading his skiing party in an American Indian rain chant. At home in Aspen, his hospitality extended to a lengthy list of artists and intellects, most especially the musicians of the Aspen Music Festival and physicists visiting the Aspen Center for Physics. Hence, a unique association copy. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # SKU2010027450
