Editors Laurie Brown, Max Dresden and Lillian Hoddeson have
assembled a prestigious group of physicists and historians of
science to present a broadly balanced picture of this exciting
scientific era that witnessed the coming of age of particle physics
and its development into 'big science'. The historical studies and
analyses provided in the volume are unique in their scope and level
of detail. Major topics and developments addressed include the
important experiments and their theoretical explanations, the
design and construction of scientific instruments and the
establishment of major research centres - especially the national
laboratories that played a key role in the transformation of
particle physics into 'big science'. These essays also range from
sociological analyses of the particle physics subculture and the
political aspects of research funding to discussions of symmetry
and axiomatic field theory.
