The photographs alone inspire awe. For a layman, this is avery good book, with very brief descriptions of differentaspects of 20th century physics presented along with themagical photographs. Perhaps, the non-specialist can glimpsethe fascination and beauty of physics from the photos and canget just an idea of why the professionals are so dedicated tothis most basic of all scientific disciplines.
