Physics

The Trouble with Physics

• rating: 1

I read this a few years ago and it is not bad. It asks some hard questions about where physics is going.

The God Particle

• rating: 1

I read this a long time ago. It's about the hunt for the Higgs particle. The viewpoint of an experimental (rather than theoretical) physicist is refreshing.
