Revue de presse

The book unifies presentation of broad philosophical ideas with precision of professional analysis. The possibility of such a synthesis is rooted in the personality of the author who, being a well known expert in elementary particles physics, is open to interpretation of its results within general cultural context. --Professor Zakharov Valentin Ivanovich, ITEP, Russia

This is a fascinating book which traces the history of particle physics from its beginning to the recent discovery of the Higgs boson. The book is accessible to any person with a secondary school knowledge of Physics and Mathematics, curious to know about the basic facts of Particle Physics and its relation to Cosmology. The book can be a good complement to students in Particle Physics interested in the way that the Standard Model developed historically. --Professor Eduardo de Rafael, Centre de Physique Theorique, France
