Fermi's descriptions of the then-known particle universe and its nascent conceptual framework allow readers to glimpse the foundations of the field from the perspective of one of its most distinguished contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver sixty years of research have provided answers to some of the questions Fermi poses in this book, but the biggest mysteries, regarding the origin and unification of forces, remain. As the high-energy physics community analyzes the results from ongoing experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider, this historic work will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students. A new foreword by Yale University physicist Thomas Appelquist provides an engaging update and gives the work historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfessor of physics at the University of Chicago and a member of the Institute for Nuclear Studies until his death in 1954, \u003cb\u003eEnrico Fermi\u003c\/b\u003e was awarded the Medal of Merit for his work on the atomic bomb and received the Nobel Prize in 1938 for research in neutron physics. \u003cb\u003eThomas Appelquist\u003c\/b\u003e is Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics at Yale University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50844264726802,"sku":"9780300183184","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_521538d9-3289-49d8-a9ca-53c4f47da0e0.jpg?v=1737315234","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/elementary-particles-9780300183184","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
