520 $a"Quarks, Leptons and The Big Bang, Third Edition, is a clear, readable and self-contained introduction to particle physics and related areas of cosmology. It bridges the gap between non-technical popular accounts and textbooks for advanced students. The book concentrates on presenting the subject from the modern perspective of quarks, leptons and the forces between them. This book will be of interest to students, teachers and general science readers interested in fundamental ideas of modern physics. This edition brings the book completely up to date by including advances in particle physics and cosmology, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson, the LIGO gravitational wave discovery and the WMAP and PLANCK results. Features: Builds on the success of previous editions, which have received very complimentary reviews ; focuses on key ideas as they are now, rather than taking a historical approach ; restricts the use of mathematics, making the book suitable for high school or first-year university level students ; this third edition incorporates advances in particle physics and cosmology ; written in an accessible, yet rigorous style"--$cProvided by publisher.
