This book bridges the gap between the known facts about the microcosmic world and the many open questions about the fundamental structure of matter and the Universe. Even if you don’t have much of a math background but would like to delve deeper into the subject, this is the book for you. It’s worth getting to know more about particle physics!
Rolf-Dieter Heuer, CERN Director General 2009 - 2015

Quarks, neutrinos, supersymmetry, Higgs boson, LHC, antimatter, dark matter – who wouldn’t like to know more about them?

This book provides an engaging overview of exciting topics in particle physics. It combines fascinating facts with a mix of vivid images and educational text, carefully arranged so that each topic is thoroughly explored within a self-contained double-page spread. The book covers both experiments and discoveries, as well as theoretical concepts and methods. You'll learn how particle accelerators work, appreciate the beauty behind the theories of particle physics, and discover how the history and structure of the Universe are intricately connected to the properties of elementary particles and forces. Step by step, you'll also learn how to extract relevant information from vast amounts of data.

Join us on a journey of discovery from the foundations of modern particle physics through exciting developments in basic research to applications that are indispensable in our daily lives.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
