"In this superb book, Sean Carroll provides a fascinating and lucid look at the most mysterious and important particle in nature, and the experiment that revealed it. Anyone with an interest in physics should read this, and join him in examining the new worlds of physics to which this discovery may lead."
--Leonard Mlodinow, author of NYT bestseller The Drunkard's Walk
"Carroll tells the story of the particle that everyone has heard of but few of us actually understand. After you read his book--an enticing cocktail of personal anecdote, clever analogy, and a small dose of mind-bending theory--you will truly grasp why the Higgs boson has been sought after for so long by so many. Carroll is a believer in big science asking big questions and his beliefs are infectious and inspiring."
--Morgan Freeman, Actor and Executive Producer of Through the Wormhole
The definitive, behind-the-scenes account of the greatest science story of our time – named a Best Science Book of the Year by The Guardian, Financial Times, and New Scientist
