Description
Writing with clarity and humor, Butterworth revels as much in the hard science--which he carefully reconstructs for readers of all levels--as in the messiness, uncertainty, and humanness of science--from the media scrutiny and late-night pub debates, to the false starts and intense pressure to generate results. He captures a moment when an entire field hinged on the proof or disproof of a 50-year-old theory--and even science's top minds didn't know what to expect. Finally, he explains why physics will never be the same after our first glimpse of the elusive Higgs--and where it will go from here." --Publisher's description.
