Particle Physics Brick by Brick: Atomic and Subatomic Physics Explained... in LEGO

---

Demystify the complex building blocks of the universe with Particle Physics Brick by Brick, a highly creative and visually intuitive popular science guide written by physicist Dr. Ben Still. Recognizing that the subatomic world is notoriously difficult to conceptualize, Dr. Still brilliantly employs LEGO® bricks as a visual analogy to represent the fundamental particles that construct our reality. By assigning specific colors, sizes, and rules to the iconic plastic blocks, the book builds the Standard Model of physics from the ground up. Readers will see exactly how quarks combine to form protons and neutrons, how leptons like electrons behave, and how gauge bosons transmit fundamental forces—culminating in an understandable explanation of the Higgs boson. Packed with colorful infographics, clear structural breakdowns, and minimal jargon, this volume serves as an exceptional textbook for physics students, educators, and science hobbyists looking for a fresh, concrete entry point into quantum mechanics.
