Understand This Triumph

of Modern Physics

The recent discovery of the Higgs boson was celebrated around the
world. The quest to pursue it cost 10 billion dollars; involved years of
international collaboration among top physicists, engineers, and other
experts; and led to the construction of the single largest and most complex
device in the history of mankind. And yet, few people truly understand
what the Higgs boson is or why it is so significant.

In The Higgs Boson and Beyond, award-winning theoretical physicist
Sean Carroll, a brilliant researcher as well as a gifted teacher who excels
in explaining scientific concepts to the public, leads you through this
thrilling story. He clearly explains the necessary background of the basics
of quantum mechanics, the Standard Model of particle physics, and
more, helping you realize how the discovery of the Higgs boson validates
and deepens our understanding of the universe.
