The Wizard of Quarks: A Fantasy of Particle Physics by Robert Gilmore
Requirements: .PDF Reader, 20MB
Overview: Thousands of readers who were delighted by the adventures and science content of Alice in Quantumland are in for another treat. This time physicist Robert Gilmore takes us on a journey with Dorothy, following the yellow building block road through the land of the Wizard of Quarks. Using characters and situations based on the Wizard of Oz story, we learn along the way about the fascinating world of particle physics. Classes of particles, from quarks to leptons are shown in an atomic garden, where atoms and molecules are produced. See how Dorothy, The Tin Geek, and the Cowardly Lion experience the bizarre world of subatomic particles. Dr. Gilmore is keenly aware that his field often proves daunting for those on the outside looking in. To counter this problem, he commandeers children’s stories to help impart the concepts that drive modern physics. Robert Gilmore is a lecturer in physics at Bristol University in England and has worked in particle physics at Brookhaven, Stanford, and CERN. His previous books are Alice in Quantumland and Scrooge’s Cryptic Carol.
