thrilling insight into microphysics - By: Dr. M. Tranter, 21 Sep 2005
This is an excellent book. It is accessible to a general reader with an interest in the "machines" with which some of the most important breakthroughs of modern physics were made. Galllison uses some fascinating metaphors, for instance the idea of a pidgin or trading language alllowing communication between researchers in different fields (ie those who count events & those who create images of them).
