On July 4th, 2012, one of physic's most exhilarating results was announced: a new particle- and very likely a new type of particle- had been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, the huge particle accelerator designed to reproduce energies present in the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. The particle's existence had been speculated on for nearly fifty years: her, finally, was proof. Professor Lisa Randall of Harvard University is one of the world's most influential theoretical physicists. In Higgs Discovery she deftly explains both this epochal discovery and its startling beautiful implications.

About the Author:

Lisa Randall studies theoretical particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University, where she is the Frank J. Baird, Jr., Professor of Science and the author of the New York Times Notable Books Knocking on Heaven's Door and Warped Passages. Her work has set her among the most cited and influential theoretical physicists today, and she is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. When not solving the problems of the universe, Randall can be found rock climbing, skiing, or contributing to art-science connections. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Review:
"A lucid, deft and engaging summation of dogged determination and "heroic engineering" Nature
