Voyage to the Heart of Matter

One of the many bad things about growing up is that you’re expected to read ‘proper’ books, leaving the pop-up offerings of your childhood behind. Well fret no more; the good folk at Papadakis have published a pop-up book all about the Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs boson – and it’s not for little ones!
Written by a CERN insider and developed by a world-famous paper engineer, this pop-up chronicles the LHC’s quest to understand the birth of the universe, centring on the Atlas experiment and featuring the discovery of the famed Higgs Boson. This is definitely one which stands out from the massive crowd of particle physics books.
And if hasn’t whet your appetite enough, the book has been published to coincide with the Science Museum’s Collider exhibit which runs until later this year, so get yourself down there for even more fun physics.
Voyage to the Heart of Matter by Anton Radevsky and Emma Sanders, Papadakis, November 2013, £24.99 (www.papadakis.net)
