Lightness of Being

I wrote about particle physics not too long ago. In that time, I bought a book on the subject and am about half way through. Lightness of Being is written by a Nobel Prize physicist who attempts to lay out the state of physics just before the LHC changes everything we know. This book is the first time that the nucleus of an atom are described as simply as electro-magnetism (electrons and light) is elsewhere. The only problem is that the science is less complete and the nature of the nucleus is far more complex. For those who dare to do something geek, I highly recommend this book.
