Gauge fields are the messengers carrying signals between elementary
particles, enabling them to interact with each other. Originating
at the level of quarks, these basic interactions percolate upwards,
through nuclear and atomic physics, through chemical and solid
state physics, to make our everyday world go round. This book tells
the story of gauge fields, from Maxwell's 1860 theory of
electromagnetism to the 1954 theory of Yang and Mills that
underlies the Standard Model of elementary particle theory. In the
course of the narration, the author introduces people and events in
experimental and theoretical physics that contribute to ideas that
have shaped our conception of the physical world.
