"This book explores the concepts, ideas, and experimental results that brought us from the discovery of the first elementary particle in the end of the 19th century to the completion of the Standard Model of particle physics in the early 21st century. It concentrates on disruptive events and unexpected results that fundamentally changed our view of particles and how they move through space-time [...]
