Books like The infinity puzzle by Frank Close

Stephen Hawking explains the fundamental physics of the universe—space, time, cosmology, black holes, and the Big Bang—in clear, accessible language.

"At the core of Einstein's general theory of relativity are a set of equations that explain the relationship among gravity, space, and time--possibly the most perfect intellectual achievement of modern physics. For over a century, physicists have been exploring, debating, and at times neglecting Einstein's theory in their quest to uncover the history of the universe, the origin of time, and the evolution of solar systems, stars, and galaxies. In this sweeping narrative of science and culture, Pedro Ferreira explains the theory through the human drama surrounding it: the personal feuds and intellectual battles of the biggest names in twentieth-century physics, from Einstein and Eddington to Hawking and Penrose. We are in the midst of a momentous transformation in modern physics. As scientists look farther and more clearly into space than ever before, The Perfect Theory engagingly reveals the greater relevance of general relativity, showing us where it started, where it has led, and where it can still take us"--

Ian Sample chronicles four decades of international science, politics and rivalries that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, the particle that gives mass to matter.

A non‑fiction exploration of how Francis Higgs boson physics reshapes our understanding of the universe, written by theoretical physicist Sean M. Carroll.

A leading LHC researcher shares his career and the collective effort to uncover the elusive Higgs boson at CERN.
