New York Times Bestselling Author

Lisa Randall, theoretical physicist, Harvard University professor, and author of the bestselling Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Warped Passages, explains one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the twenty-first century—the discovery of the new particle many scientists believe is the Higgs boson—and it’s beautiful implications

“Randall . . . offers clear accounts of the Higgs mechanism; follows the seven-month lead up to the discovery; and speculates about what it all might mean for other areas of exploration. A lucid, deft, and engaging summation of dogged determination and ‘heroic engineering.’”—Nature
