Título: The God Particle
Autor: Leon Lederman
Sinopse: Join the fascinating search for the "God Particle", the mysterious building block of all nature, with the NObel Prize-winning physicist described as "a cross between Albert Einstein and Mel Brooks," Leon Lederman. Since an inquiring Greek named Democritus of Abdera sniffed baking bread and deducded the existence of the a-tom, the pursuit of the infinitesimal has become science's longest quest. Now, in a book of dazzling originality, we make the journey too, moving through the long string of Eureka moments that have brought us tantalizingly close to unlocking the last secrets of the universe. Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Rutherford and Einstein are just a few of the heroes in Lederman's tale, each one a brilliant detective looking for clues behind the veil of matter. Extraordinarily accessible, filled with razor-sharp wit and startling storytelling power, The God Particle is a celebration of human curiosity, inviting you to take part in an adventure... finding the solution to a puzzle that will be the greatest discovery of all time.
