Press, $21.95, ISBN 0 8135 2177 7) grips you like a spy novel and hardly
lets you go. It is one of the best accounts of the rapid progress of particle
physics concentrating on the physicists who made the discoveries—Albert
Einstein, Steven Weinberg, Richard Feynman, all interesting and sometimes
eccentric characters. Exciting, informative and full of incident.
