Reviews
The book is a fast read brimming with personality. Reading about the Large Hadron Collider, with its spinning particle streams, hypercontrolled collisions, and awesome implications, is like learning about what wizards do.
Lincoln's tales of the LHC... offer readers fresh insight into some of the most significant research in modern physics.
Laypersons interested in the building blocks of the universe and/or the newsworthy LHC will learn a lot from this work and enjoy the process.
Physics blends with some amazing stories of the Higgs boson and other details in a powerful scientific survey packed with insights that are both scientifically detailed and widely accessible to general-interest readers.
This engaging story will be appreciated by readers interested in the frontiers of science... Highly recommended.
Written in accessible language and an engaging manner... I was pleased to see how Lincoln's sense of humor... lightens what might otherwise be a tedious enumeration of technical details.
