Collider Named in Library Journal's Best of 2009 Sci-Tech Books

I'm delighted to report that Collider: The Search for the World's Smallest Particles is the physics selection in Library Journal's Best of 2009 Sci-Tech Books

It is also the April selection of the TWIS (This Week in Science) Book Club.

Collider: The Search for the World's Smallest Particles

Collider: The Search for the World's Smallest Particles
An accessible look at the hottest topic in physics and the experiment that will transform our understanding of the universe. Now in paperback with a brand new preface about the suspenseful start-up of the Large Hadron Collider and the future of high-energy physics!

Understanding what our universe is physically made of is one of the oldest and most researched scientific quandaries to date. Deep beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider is smashing particles to deconstruct matter to its smallest pieces and test the existence of the elusive and theoretical Higgs boson–a.k.a. the God particle–among other experiments. The results could confirm or disprove what we supposedly know about quarks, string theory, dark matter, dark energy, and the fundamental tenets of modern physics. Paul Halpern explains what scientists are searching for and why particle physics could well be on the verge of some of its greatest breakthroughs.
