<div> <b>?A modern voyage of discovery.” ?Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate, author of <i>The Lightness of Being </i></b><br> <br> The Higgs boson is one of our era’s most fascinating scientific frontiers and the key to understanding why mass exists. The most recent book on the subject, <i>The God Particle</i>, was a bestseller. Now, Caltech physicist Sean Carroll documents the doorway that is opening?after billions of dollars and the efforts of thousands of researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland?into the mind-boggling world of dark matter. <i>The Particle at the End of the Universe</i> has it all: money and politics, jealousy and self-sacrifice, history and cutting-edge physics?all grippingly told by a rising star of science writing.</div>
