An evolutionary history of high energy particle physics, with metascientific goals

摘要

This book is a truly remarkable accomplishment. In one great leap, it makes up for years of neglect of a major metascientific theme, and brings science studies up to date with the advancing frontier of the scientific enterprise. A single author, in one enormous volume, has done most of the work that ought to have been the long-term function and multifarious product of several institutes, researching and publishing vigorously throughout this period.
