Book Description

November 1979
The Particle Play is written for the layman it unfolds a tale which starts with the deceptively simple days of the early 1930s, through the tide of discovery which flowed from the giant machines constructed for accelerating particles, to the present concern with the quark structure of matter and the unification of fundamental interactions. The story is one of high excitement, of the continual appearance of the unexpected, and of the unraveling of an underlying structure of great economy and elegance.
