Not far offstage was the man for whom the particle had been named: Peter Higgs. The Higgs boson is an anomaly. No other basic particle of physics is named after a person. And in a point of almost supreme irony, it is named after a man whom most physicists would call one of the most retiring people ever to join the field--indeed, on the day the Nobel committee called him to tell him he had won, Higgs had fled to a fish-and-chip shop by the sea, and ended up learning of his prize from a stranger who, recognizing him, stopped him the street to tell him the news. Or at least that's one way to tell the story. In Elusive, physicist and historian Frank Close tells for the first time ever the story of Peter Higgs' life and work. It is, as the title suggests, hard to pin down. How did Higgs become so famous, when he only published eight scientific papers in his entire life--especially when, as he himself admits, he no longer could keep up with the mathematics driving his field? It turns out it has as much to do with the machinations of scientific competition between the European Union and the United States as it does with Higgs' own insight. The truth is obscured as well by jockeying within physics, as scientists as famous as Stephen Hawking sought to use the hunt for the Higgs to enhance their own fame. And then there is the work itself, obscure and strange and yet somehow the key not just to mass, but to the entire edifice of particle physics. Frank Close clarifies them all, making the physics clear, but even more crucially, revealing just how important a single man's life can be to understanding the social and cultural roles of science in our world. A landmark event, Elusive will sit proudly beside great biographies of Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein, and Paul Dirac as portraits of a man and his work. But perhaps more importantly, it will help all of us understand--in a world where we all rely on "Big Science" for our material well-being--whether its functioning is truly as straightforward or distinterested as it seems. The answer to that question remains, well, elusive"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1070242</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C1070242</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Close, F.

The public adored him, and the media compared him to Newton and Einstein. Appearing at concerts, on The Simpsons, and even on the edge of space, he was an icon who captured the imaginations of audiences all over the world. It didn't seem to matter that his fans had only a tenuous understanding of his contributions, or that the scientific community scoffed at much of his work. Somehow, Hawking had managed to transform himself into the world's most brilliant man. In Hawking Hawking, science journalist Charles Seife shows how. Examining Hawking's work his fraught relationships with his wives, lovers, and children, and his obsession with celebrity and fame, Seife demonstrates that Hawking's true genius lay not in his talent for physics but rather manipulation. Hawking worked tirelessly to cultivate his image as the epitome of rationality, a man of childlike simplicity, who could probe the vast recesses of space with his mind. But beneath the façade was a figure who was at best complex, at worst, conceited, selfish, and sexist. When he was wrong, as he was more often than not, he recast his failings as scientific victories. He distracted from his many character flaws with wit, charm, and self-deprecation. He convinced audiences of his authority on topics about which he knew little. And when, unable to produce his "theory of everything," his status began to slip away, he used his students as tools to recapture his former glory. But for all the suffering he caused others, it was Hawking who suffered most of all. So extreme was his need to remain in the spotlight that he often played the role of the victim, whether by allowing confidence men to sell books under his name or enduring physical abuse at the hands of his second wife. To make matters worse, as his celebrity grew, he found himself increasingly estranged from his wives and children, even as he struggled to preserve his image as a family man. And though he bristled at any mention of his heroism, wanting to be remembered for his mind, not his body, Hawking accepted that his ALS was at the core of his persona and begrudgingly allowed audiences and the media to marvel at his perseverance and stoicism. In the end, Hawking was a genius because we wanted him to be one, and so did he. Provocative and controversial, Hawking Hawking upends everything we thought we knew about the world's most beloved scientist, shining light on the true nature of fame and the intoxicating effects of genius"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C987878</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C987878</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Seife, Charles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/987878246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Selling of A Scientific Celebrity</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541618374/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stephen Hawking]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the most influential physicists of our time, Stephen Hawking touched the lives of millions.

Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking's collaborator and friends, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in a unique and deeply personal portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius, who ours his mind into uncovering the mysteries of the universe--ultimately formulating a pathbreaking theory of black holes that reignites the discipline of cosmology and paves the way for physicists to investigate the origins of the universe in completely new ways. We meet Hawking the colleagues, a man whose illness leaves him able to communicate at only six words per minute but who expends the effort to punctuate his conversations with humor. And we meet Hawking the friend, who can convey volumes with a frown, a smile, or simply a raised eyebrow. Modinow puts us in the room as Hawking indulges his passion for wine and curry; shares his feelings on love, death, and disability; and grapples with deep questions of philosophy and physics. Whether depicting Hawking's devotion to his work or demonstrating how he would make spur of the moment choices, such as punting on the River Cam (despite the risk the jaunt to posed), or spinning tales of Hawking defiantly urinating in the hedges outside a restaurant that doesn't have a wheelchair accessible toilet, Mlodinow captures his indomitable spirit. This deeply affecting account of a friendship teaches us not just about the nature and practice of physics but also about life and the human capacity to overcome daunting obstacles.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C940486</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C940486</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mlodinow, Leonard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/940486246</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Friendship and Physics</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593290224/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Isaac Newton]]></title><description><![CDATA["A blunt and humorous profile of Isaac Newton focusing on his disagreeable personality and showing that his offputting qualities were key to his scientific breakthroughs."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C822837</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S246C822837</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Freistetter, Florian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/822837246</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Asshole Who Reinvented the Universe</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781633884564/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hawking]]></title><description><![CDATA[The film features exclusive access to Hawking's life story, told largely in his own words.
