Present at the Creation: The Story of CERN and the Large Hadron Collider

摘要

Mathematician and science writer Amir D Aczel is well known for his factually convincing and captivating story of Fermat's Last Theorem. His recent book on CERN follows a similar recipe for writing a gripping story: impressions from several visits to the laboratory - notably witnessing the LHC restart from the CERN Control Centre on 5 March 2010 and from the CMS Control Centre earlier in the day - as well as interviewing respective experts and leading physicists, including 13 Nobel laureates.
