In this extraordinarily accessible and enormously witty book, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman guides us on a fascinating tour of the history of particle physics. The book takes us from the Greeks' earliest scientific observations through Einstein and beyond in an inspiring celebration of human curiosity. It ends with the quest for the Higgs boson, nicknamed the God Particle Leon M. Lederman. Nobel Prize in Physics 1988. Leon M. Lederman was born in New York City on 15 July 1922, as the second son of Russian-Jewish immigrants. Lederman majored in chemistry at the City College of New York in 1943. During his undergraduate years, he became fascinated by the logical rigour of physics and was influenced by future Interview with Dr. Leon Lederman by Joanna Rose, science writer, 7 December 2001. Dr. Lederman talks about discoveries in physics yet to be made, his book "The God Particle" (5:45), his work on public education in science (7:06), why science is so important to us (9:32), and how we have to change school systems that crush children's curiosity (11:00).
