Review :
A delightfully readable and accessible account of the search for the force which ensures that there is something rather than nothing in the Universe. - John Gribbin, astrophysicist and science author ... good reading for anyone interested in what today's physicists are excited about. - The CERN Courier Every so often, physics gets sexy. The Big Bang and black holes regularly grab the headlines, and, more recently, something else has become the latest scientific superstar the God Particle. Higgs Force aims to do for the Higgs boson what Stephen Hawking did for the black hole. - Guru Magazine Higgs Force takes a new approach to contemporary physics, and makes notoriously difficult material accessible and approachable, very readable and entertaining. - Tony Mann, President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics Want to know the secret of everything ever? Then look no further than Higgs Force, the book that seeks to explain how modern physicists understand the universe by exposing the complex secrets of matter. - Starburst Magazine A lucid explanation concerning the symmetry breaking force that makes the world an interesting place accompanied by excellent notes and a useful bibliography. - The Book Bag Higgs Force takes some pretty high-end physical concepts and research and presents them in a format that pretty much anybody can start to get their head around, as long as they re armed with a general interest in the subject matter. - Blogstronomy Bloody brilliant! I love the stories and the characters. It is the most wonderful ongoing detective story. - Terence Woodgate, Royal Designer for Industry
