Reviews
Fraser gives us an impressionist picture of some of the key people, ideas, and tools that contributed to the Standard Model with bright splotches of colour spread over a broad range of space and time on the backdrop of the major historical events of this century. -History of Physics Newsletter ... a careful and fascinating account of particle physics in the 20th Century. -Christine Sutton, New Scientist An account worth having for its record of how the struggle for dominance in fundamental physics looked from the European side. This is a story which includes many of the great moments of 20th-century science. -The Financial Times Fraser presents the history of particle physics from a refreshingly new perspective-that of the machine builders. -Michael Riordan, CERN Courier Fraser shows unusual skill in finding vivid analogies that capture physical pictures without distorting them. In many ways this book complements Abraham Pais' 'Inward Bound.' -Gary Feldman, Physics World
