Rezension zu „The Infinity Puzzle “
fascinating book Nature thoroughly researched and well-crafted narrative New Scientist masterpiece...I never normally give 5 stars but for this I make an exception. John Gribbin, BBC Focus If [the Higgs Boson] does turn up, some people in Stockholm will likely be among the book's most avid readers ... Close is especially diligent in investigating the priority of ideas and in crediting researchers who may have been left behind, either by the Nobel committee or by popular imagination ... The result is a much more nuanced picture of history. Physics World
