4.9/5 (19900 ratings)

Description:This informative and entertaining book provides a broad look at the fascinating history of CERN, and the physicists working in different areas at CERN who were active in the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Profound and well-structured, the contents combine present day interviews with the scientists of CERN, the world's largest laboratory dedicated to the pursuit of fundamental science, with important figures in the history of science (e.g., Maxwell, Faraday, Einstein), and also gives a lot of information on the history of quantum mechanics and the history of physics from its beginnings. It is an easy-to-read book on a complex topic, providing a very personal insight into the personalities of top scientists and the history of science as well. This invaluable book will capture the interest of the curious reader, telling the story of one of the greatest scientific endeavors ever.Contents: The History of CERN The Practitioner: Rolf-Dieter Heuer The Beginning of Modern Physics: Galileo, Copernicus, and Kepler The Experimentalist: Tejinder S Virdee Dalton — Thomson — Rutherford — Bohr The Man Who Built The LHC: Lyn Evans Physics, Music, and Art: Tara Shears The Theorist: John Ellis Oersted — Ampère — Faraday — Maxwell The Communicator: Rolf Landua Albert Einstein (1879–1955) The Japanese Way: Masaki Hori The Nobel Prize Laureate: Carlo Rubbia The American Friend: Sebastian White Friendly Competitors: Sebastian White and Albert De Roeck Rock 'n' Roll, Beer, Billiards, and Music: Jonathan Butterworth The Higgs Boson — and Then?
