Higgs Force by Nicholas Mee is the definitive account of the
science leading up to the discovery of the Higgs particle and the
researchers involved in this quest. This discovery, by what is
arguably the world's biggest and most expensive experiment - the
Large Hadron Collider - represents the most important scientific
breakthrough for 50 years. Higgs Force is a popular science book
that is written in an accessible and engaging style with clear
explanations for the general reader. The book is filled with
stories about the eccentric characters that litter the history of
science. These include a chemist who was addicted to the pleasures
of laughing gas; the inventor of the kaleidoscope, whose business
sense didn't match his scientific acumen; the weird looming
apparition of the Brocken spectre - a ghostly giant who offered
vital inspiration to a leading researcher; a physicist who compared
his power to transmute the elements to the fabled alchemist Hermes
Trismegistus and an astronomer who was captivated by the beauty of
a falling snowflake. More information about Higgs Force is
available on the following website: www.higgsforce.co.uk.
