Opmerkingen

1. De deeltjesdierentuin - Een goed leesbaar boek over niet-alledaagse natuurkunde: elementaire deeltjes. Enkele hoofdstukken zijn pittig, vooral het (nogal incomplete en niet zo duidelijke) hoofdstuk over supersymmetrie. Het boek is zeker aan te bevelen om een indruk te krijgen wat die “alchemistische” natuurkundigen doen. Het is alleen jammer dat in de lectuurlijst het zeer leesbare en zeker voor beta-VWO-ers en -HTS-studenten begrijpbare boek “Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics” van Martinus Veltman ontbreekt. Dit zou in latere drukken toegevoegd kunnen worden.
