From the Publisher:
James Trefil's popular physics primer chronicles the evolution of atomic theory through the discoveries of such subatomic particles as the quark, the meson, the lepton, and more. An accessible guide for the general reader that reveals the mystery and beauty of physics as few books have before.
From Library Journal:
"This is a good popularization of a very esoteric field," said LJ's reviewer of this volume (LJ 7/80). Physics professor Trefil here traces the discovery of ever smaller particles of matter, relating "in nontechnical style the story of the unfinished search for the basis of physical reality." This edition has been revised and updated.
