## Description

Very Short Introductions : Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Following the discovery of the Higgs boson, Frank Close has produced this major revision to his classic and compelling introduction to the fundamental particles that make up the universe. Frank Close takes us on a journey into the atom to examine known particles such as quarks, electrons, and the ghostly neutrino, and explains the key role and significance of the Higgs boson. Along the way he provides fascinating insights into how discoveries in particle physics have actually been made, and discusses how our picture of the world has been radically revised in the light of these developments. He concludes by looking ahead to new ideas about the mystery of antimatter and massive neutrinos, and to what the next 50 years of research might reveal about the nature of the Higgs field which moulds the fundamental particles and forces. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Review: Good !!! - The best introduction to particle physics. He book has some detailed images and diagrams for readers. A short book to the amazing side of atoms and physics.
Review: Amazing book for short introduction on Particle Physics. - Basic introduction about elementary particles. Images of LHC data are very clear and fine! Well I DO NOT recommend it if you are looking for anything having mathematical derivation and all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knowledge of the subject
*by S***. on 29 June 2021*

It is a very good book through the alphabet are extremely small. This book is not for novice. Best approach is to go through some youtube videos and have some understanding of the concept and then read it. I applied this approach and things were 60-70% clear on the book. Many chapters read to be read 2 - 3 times to understand it.
