The Particle at the End of the Universe: How the Hunt for the Higgs Boson Leads Us to the Edge of a New World by Sean Carroll
3.0
Carroll's book is an entertaining read. It's part history, part hard science, part popular science, and it's all interesting, if frequently over my head.
Carroll uses some excellent analogies to explain the Higgs Boson and the Higgs field, and it's worth listening to the audiobook just to hear narrator Jonathan Hogan constantly recite words like neutralino, photino, gluino, and WIMP. Physics is adorable.
