About this title

Synopsis

Particle physicists explore the microworld of the atom; cosmologists study the universe on a grand scale. From Quarks to the Cosmos follows the dramatic merger of these fields as they seek to define the connections among all structures, great and small - the so-called 'theory of everything'. Leon M. Lederman shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in physics. "Definitely one of my books of the year." New Scientist
