Sintesi dell'editore
One of the biggest discoveries in physics, the quest for the Higgs boson demonstrates the value of a good theory. In July 2012, a Higgs-like particle was found near the energies scientists predicted. Now, armed with better evidence and better questions, the scientific process continues. In this audiobook, we’ve gathered our best reporting to explain that process - the theories, the search, the discovery, and the ongoing questions.

Kudos to those who assembled this
This is an enlightening account of the last 40 or so years in physics. You will get a guilty pleasure feeling when the narrative is from years back and the physicist is so sure about a discovery to be made and it obviously never worked out the way they thought it would. Towards the end of the book, we get into beyond the Standard Model and hear insights in those directions.

HIGGS BOSON REDUX
It’s difficult to believe but it has been nine years since the Higgs Boson particle was discovered. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cern, Switzerland bombarded atoms with protons to reveal a new fundamental particle of atoms known as Higgs Boson. Alex Boyles offers an excellent narration of several “Scientific American” articles written by scientists about the significance and limitations of the Higgs Boson’ discovery.
What seems relevant in listening to these “Scientific American” articles is –Different ways of looking for the truth is critical to the future of humanity. To many, pursuit of natural laws by scientists is key to human survival. Whether a science’ reductionist, entropic theorist, believer in God, or philosopher, a provable “theory of everything” offers growth to science and a possible future for humanity.

Loving the journey
I love hearing other more computational capable primates talk of particle physics, the Higgs am subject, because of the philosophical implications, is by far my second fave subject after astronomy.

Not what I expected
This is a conglomeration of scientific publications instead of a concise book laying out the higgs boson. Sure to this many topics are covered multiple times and it can be hard to keep all of the theories straight in addition to which acronyms mean what.
There are some good sections of information but they are hard to parse into usable information in your head. I find the audio book format to be largely to blame since there are no diagrams even though a few publications mention them.

Excellent popular description
... of the Standard Model, discoveries related to it's predictions and consequences of these discoveries.

Out of date nonsense
Why would a journal who claim to be at the cutting edge of science publish a set of essays which are totally out of date?
Also, if the narrator is unable to pronounce basic English words then he has no place narrating

Informative if you are new to the subject.
These lectures are a little dated now, but very informative, and a good recap to those interested in the subject and its history.

a great chase
a wonderful time line of articles from the magazine from the 90's though to today. facinating the feel the excitment of the unknown before a number of the fundemental particals had been discovered experimently. right through to the disappointment of nothing beyond higgs.
I seen a few bad reviews, these people clearly didn't realise the structure of the piece. the individual articles had little overlap and were all very interesting in their own way.
very enjoyable and informative collection

And the target audience for his book was?
Persevered up to the third chapter under the delusion I understood what was being explained. Nope! The most.I could claim is I now have a catalogue of cool quantum physics phrases to confuse and bore people to death with in bars.
