This popular book introduces the ideas, terminology, and techniques of high-energy physics. Insights into the structure of matter from the atom down to the quark are made accessible to readers who have no physics background."With hardly a mathematical formula, Ms. Schwarz clearly explains the language and much of the substance of elementary particle physics." -FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY STANLEY GLASHOW, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, NOBEL LAUREATE
