(This popular book introduces the ideas, terminology, and ...)
This popular book introduces the ideas, terminology, and techniques of high-energy physics. Insights into the structure of matter from the atom down to the quark are made accessible to readers who have no physics background. "With hardly a mathematical formula, Ms. Schwarz clearly explains the language and much of the substance of elementary particle physics." -FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY STANLEY GLASHOW, HARVARD UNIVERSITY, NOBEL LAUREATE

A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo is a brief and ambitious expedition into the remarkably simple ingredients of all the wonders of nature. With hardly a mathematical formula, Professor Cindy Schwarz (Vassar College) clearly explains the language and much of the substance of elementary particle physics for the 99% of students who do not aspire to a career in physics. Views of matter from the atom to the quark are discussed in a form that an interested person with no physics background can easily understand. College and university courses can be developed around this book and it can be used alone or in conjunction with other materials. Even college physics majors would enjoy reading this book as an introduction to particle physics. High school (and even middle school) teachers could also use A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo to introduce this material to their students. It will also be beneficial for high school teachers who have not been formally exposed to high-energy physics, have forgotten what they once knew, or are no longer up-to-date with recent developments.
