THE PARTICLE PLAY: AN ACCOUNT OF THE ULTIMATE CONSTITUENTS OF MATTER

by J.C. Polkinghorne

Published by W.H. Freeman and Company. 1st. 1979

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. Written for the layman. It unfolds a tale which starts with the deceptively simple days of the early 1930s, through the tide of discovery which flowed from the giant machines constructed for accelerating particles, to the present concern with the quark structure of matter and the unification of fundamental interactions. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. 138 pages including index.

A very nice copy with dustwrapper.
