Atom Land: A Guided Tour Through the Strange (and Impossibly Small) World of Particle Physics by Jon Butterworth

3.0

I really enjoyed the style of this book. Perfect for a biologist looking to better understand the microscopic world, the author takes us on an adventurous journey through various scenes that help visualize what’s happening at the atomic scale. He offers fun and educational scenarios like comparing amplitude, frequency and wavelength to gulls bobbing up and down on the oceans waves. I listened to an audiobook and wish I had read this one.
