520    "The conceptual changes brought by modern physics are 
       important, radical and fascinating, yet they are only 
       vaguely understood by people working outside the field. 
       Exploring the four pillars of modern physics - relativity,
       quantum mechanics, elementary particles and cosmology - 
       this clear and lively account will interest anyone who has
       wondered what Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger and Heisenberg 
       were really talking about. The book discusses quarks and 
       leptons, antiparticles and Feynman diagrams, curved space-
       time, the Big Bang and the expanding Universe. Suitable 
       for undergraduate students in non-science as well as 
       science subjects, it uses problems and worked examples to 
       help readers develop an understanding of what recent 
       advances in physics actually mean"--|cProvided by
