"This is a good popularization of a very esoteric field," said LJ's reviewer of this volume (LJ 7/80). Physics professor Trefil here traces the discovery of ever smaller particles of matter, relating "in nontechnical style the story of the unfinished search for the basis of physical reality." This edition has been revised and updated.Book Details
