Query: Particle nuclear physics for the layperson

A most enjoyable read and understandable, for the most part, for this non-physicist. The author communicates well the "Wonder" of the world of subatomic particles. For the first time I have some vague inkling how, on a very basic level, it all works together. Bravo Professor Kane! His excitement about extending the standard theory most likely with super symmetry is infectious. His dismay and disappointment at the cancellation by the US government of the super conducting super collider was apparent but not overstated. The glossary and index are really helpful so you can quickly look up a particular particle, force, etc. I would have liked to have seen more (simplified) diagrams of the particle collisions that lead to confirmation of various particles.Spoiler Alert of sorts!!!!This book was written before the confirmation/discovery of the Higgs Boson at the Large Hadron Collider.
