Synopsis
An accessible and engaging guide to the atom, the smallest, most fundamental constituent of matter. Until now, popular science has relegated the atom to a supporting role in defining the different chemical elements of the periodic table. In this book, Jack Challoner places the atom at center stage. The Atom investigates the quest to identify the smallest, most fundamental constituents of matter--and how that quest helps us to understand what everything is made of and how it all works. Challoner covers a wide range of topics--including the development of scientific thinking about atoms and the basic structure of atoms; how atomic interactions account for the familiar properties of everyday materials; the power of the atomic nucleus; and what the mysterious quantum realm of subatomic particles can tell us about the very nature of reality. Illustrated in color throughout, The Atom offers clear answers to questions we have all pondered, as well as some we have never even dreamed of. It describes the amazing discoveries scientists have made about the fundamental building blocks of matter--from quarks to nuclear fission to the "God particle"--and explains them accessibly and concisely. The Atom is the engaging and straightforward introduction to the topic that we didn't get in school.

- e***e (128)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought 2 lots of books from this seller; both were shipped in the same box, so I'll just repeat the feedback I left for the other half of the order: Superb packaging! I've been collecting old paperbacks for ... well, a long time, and these were the best-wrapped, best protected, best shipped box 'o books I've ever received! The books themselves were exactly as described in the photos, and the per-book value (using the advanced mathematics formula: total price / no. of books) was wonderful
- e***t (420)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI love to collect vintage paperbacks, and have been looking for this title for awhile. I thought it was an excellent find, at a good value. The seller shipped the book on time, and packaged it in a way to protect it in the shipping process. When it arrived, it was exactly as described in the listing. I would highly recommend this seller to others!
- w***a (448)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI'm so happy with everything about this purchase! The price was very good, the book was in New condition (I bought it at a used price, but the book is new), and packaged with care- safe against rain and very secure. ALSO, I am surprised how fast the package arrived! I seen ''media mail" so I figured it would take awhile, but I had it by the end of the week. I am SO happy with this seller! Thank you!!
