Massive: The Higgs Boson and the Greatest Hunt in Science

Description

"A lively account of the genesis of both the [Large Hadron Collider] and its most famous particulate quarry... We are kept hooked by its fine reportage, which makes clear the sheer achievement of the scientists and engineers who have built the LHC, the most complex machine ever made in the service of pure science." --Graham Farmelo, "The Guardian" (London)
