			        		&quot;The book is very clearly structured and has a glossary, so &apos;dipping&apos; is facilitated. The author condenses and combines sources as listed in his bibliography.&quot; -- Michael Jewess, Royal Society of Chemistry Historical Group newsletter&quot;Jim Baggott is one of the UK&apos;s best popular science writers and never disappoints. . . . [Mass] encourages the reader to really think about the nature of matter and how something as apparently straightforward as mass is not what it seems. That delight in revealing the unexpected typifies, for me, the joy of physics.&quot; --Popular Science Book Reviews&quot;How did our understanding of mass evolve from the geometric atoms of ancient Greece to the quantum ghostliness of today? Jim Baggott ingeniously contextualizes that eventful science history.&quot; --Barbara Kiser, Nature &quot;Encourages the reader to really think about the nature of matter and how something as apparently straightforward as mass is not what it seems. That delight in revealing the unexpected typifies, for me, the joy of physics.&quot; --Brian Clegg, Popular Science &quot;Baggott smartly renders particle physics, typically a dense and opaque topic for the non-expert, clear and captivating. Not only will readers grasp the building blocks of the standard model, they will forever look at mass differently.&quot; --Publishers Weekly &quot;An imaginative book that seeks the answer to the question, what is matter? ... Baggott provides a wild but expert and comprehensive ride.&quot; --Kirkus Review
