Deep Down Things by Bruce A. Schumm

The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics

An engaging, accessible introduction to particle physics that explains the fundamental constituents of matter, the forces between them, and the experimental tools and historical developments that built the Standard Model; it emphasizes how theory and experiment work together to reveal quarks, leptons, neutrinos, and the Higgs, using clear analogies and nontechnical explanations to show how physicists probe the subatomic world and why those discoveries matter.
