The Wizard of Quarks: A Fantasy of Particle Physics Hard cover - 2000
by Robert Gilmore
- New
- Hardcover
In the tradition of "The Wizard Of Oz", Gilmore takes the tale of a little girl from Kansas and transforms it into a description of the practically indescribable world of subatomic particles. Dorothy's encounter with the Witch of Mass, the Witch of Gravity, the Witch of Color, and the Weak Witch will help readers grasp the maddeningly elusive concepts of the foundations of modern physics.
