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

3.0

I feel less like an uneducated layperson on quantum physics and more like a kind-of-educated layperson. This book gives a good overview of the standard model, and doesn't get much into the wild theorizing that dominates most popular writings I've seen on the subject. It does get rather hard to follow near the end, but that's to be expected.
