Particle Physics Brick by Brick: brick by brick : atomic and subatomic physics explained ... in Lego Paperback – 21 Sept. 2017

I work in Physics and this was the best thing I could have bought one of our engineers who is obsessed with Lego 😍

Clearly, there will be some limitations when reducing particle physics to Lego bricks but, it would seem, surprisingly few. I have found this book really helpful. I have been tinkering in the margins of quantum physics and necessarily, therefore, particle physics for some time now; this book brings together the particle bit extremely well. It explains the physics very well without the complex maths and brings all the little bits into one handy reference - perfect for my little brain. I'm about a third of my way through it all and I've found "little sips" then time to savour better than big gulps; it is more of a textbook than a novel. I'm enjoying it more than I feel I should - am I turning into a geek? Highly recommended.

What an amazing and inspired book this is. While the Lego brick analogy has its limitations, Ben Still uses it to great effect to explain a subject that is not easily explained. The explanations are clear and concise, and easily digested. You don't need to buy any Lego bricks to understand the book but having some to hand does help.If you are a novice when ti comes to this subject matter then you could do a lot worse than this book to learn about it. Quantum physics has never been so much fun.

There are inconsistencies in the use of colours without an appropriate explanation. The composition of sub atomic is sometimes inconsistent e.g. the Proton. There is no Errata but I wish the author would publish one or better "still" publish an updated version. I gave this book to my then 15yo grandson who spotted many of the mistakes. None of this however takes away from the book which is useful, entertaining, educational and overwhelmingly accurate. A good buy

Bought as a quirky Christmas present for my teenage son who is studying A level physics and wants to do Astrophysics/ Quantum physics or some sort of physics at Uni. He loves it as it explains particle physics in a visual way that makes it easy to understand and he is an A grade student! Just goes to show what a great book this is.

As someone trying to make up for lost time by taking an Open University degree I wanted to get up to date with particle physics and am truly delighted to have found this bookIt has helped me enormously - excellent observations and all clearly illustrated. Using Lego was a masterstroke!Well done to the author. I highly recommend this book

Lego, particle physics, cool pressie for my 10 year old nephew (with vague interest in science) - what can go wrong?Oooops, upon reading, pretty obvious my 10 year old nephew is going to have to wait 3-4 years before getting his teeth into this one, on the upside I kept it for myself! Well I needed a pressie for me.Cool!

brilliant book by a brilliant man.

The author does a wonderful job of breaking down particle physics into understandable pieces. The organization of the book flows well and it has helped me understand the basics of the particles in the Standard Model and how they were discovered. The illustrations with the Lego bricks are helpful and definitely made it easier to understand what I was reading.

Interessante nel contenuto e nella modalità in cui esso è illustrato al lettore. Una piacevole scoperta.

A neat fun book. Easy to understand.

It’s awesome. Anyone can understand it. It has many information like quantum fields, Higgs boson, Higgs field and many latest discoveries

Langatmige Beschreibungen werden hier in eine ansehnliche Form gebracht.Bilder und Text sind sehr schön abgestimmt und bieten ein Maximum an Information auf einen Blick.Jeder Physik Fan sollte sich dieses Buch zulegen.Ich finde es nur Schade, das solch ein Buch nicht verfilmt wird. Computeranimationen würden das Ganzenoch deutlicher machen. Für Manga's und Catoon's gibt es genügend Geldgeber, aber Bildung - wer braucht so was?
