Atom: Journey across the Subatomic Cosmos

The legendary Isaac Asimov starts what is perhaps the finest of all his books with a simple query: How finely can a piece of matter be divided? But like many simple questions, this one leads readers on a far-flung quest for a final answer, a search that encompasses such fascinating phenomena as light and electricity and their components--strange but real bits of matter that challenge our assumptions about the very nature of time and space. 40 illustrations.Asimov, Isaac is the author of 'Atom: Journey across the Subatomic Cosmos' with ISBN 9780525249900 and ISBN 0525249907.
