There are three things I look for in a good pop science book. I want to be informed, I want to be entertained and I don't want to be bewildered. My favorite science writers include Paul Davies, Michio Kaku and Brian Greene because they are generally enlightening and highly readable. Anil Ananthaswarmy is a writer with background in science but you can tell that writing is his primary skill. When I read the title I expected a book about the technological edges of physics but instead the book is about the extreme locations on the globe that scientists will journey to in order to pursue some of the grandest experiments ever undertaken. The subtitle of the book pretty much explains this as well as the product description so any misunderstanding was my own fault. Unlike the books by the authors above this book focuses on the moments when the chalkboard theories get put to the test, when the rubber meets the road.The writer travels to some of the most unforgiving locations on the planet and thanks to some talented writing brings the reader along. From the frigged northern and southern poles to the barren lands of South Africa, from Lake Bailkal in Siberia to deep beneath the earth the author has to endure some of the most brutal conditions imaginable. What all of these locations have in common is their unique environmental conditions that assist with some of the most challenging searches ever undertaken. Most of the science here involves the quest for exotic particles including anti-matter, neutrinos, WIMP's and evidence for the existence of dark matter. I'm not going to pretend that I'm someone who is particularly interested in exotic particles, dark matter or the shape of the universe. I love physics but these topics have never really sparked my interest. However the focus of the book here isn't on the science, it's on the people and the amazing risks and sacrifices they are willing to take in the quest for knowledge. Anil tells of a group of explorers in Antarctica who died while trying to bring back geological samples. They were found frozen with 30 pounds of rocks. If they had simply ditched the rocks they may have made it but instead science took priority over life. The author is in no way advocating this behavior but it takes this kind of mindset to drive a person to locations where the temperature can drop 50 degrees below zero or into the deepest, darkest mines in search of a possibly non existent particle.It was fascinating to read about the effort it took to transport massive telescope lenses into the most inaccessible places possible where any bump could damage millions of damage of equipment or digging out the mammoth caverns needed for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In the chapter on the LHC the author spends considerable amount of time on the colossal engineering feet involved in creating a collider that can create energies not seen since the early moments of the universe and temperatures colder than anything nature can produce. The people who take on these Herculean efforts are generally driven by nothing more than the unquenchable thirst for knowledge. The experiments are unprecedented and as such ingenuity is a must. Imagine trying to dig down several kilometers into the ice in the South Pole. The solution was to melt through the ice with an incredible blast of hot water literally possessing the power of a freight engine. You can think of it as like Mythbusters if Mythbusters had millions and sometimes billions of dollars to work with. Physics has been in the doldrums for decades and it's very likely that one of these remote places might well lead to the next big advance. Although this wasn't the book I was hoping for it's very well done and gives the reader a whole new glimpse into science. I'm giving this one top marks.
Anil and his editor Amanda Cook, cobbled together an amazing book, combining science, cultural, physical and anthropological geography, geology, travel to exotic and revered scientific locations on earth, then providing glimpses into both deep space and quantum mechanics. (This sentence is a microcosm of much of the style of the book.)I reveled in some amazingly poetic prose as he described the locations that housed or supported an amazing array of telescopes located in places few care to venture. Fortunately for us, he went to those often hostile places and spent as much time writing on the geographies mentioned above, as the hard-core science that motivated their existence.It’s a complex story. It includes acronyms and names enough to dissuade a reader from continuing, but then he slips in something fascinating about places or an Ideas, both here on earth and into the multiverse.He is careful to include a multitude of scientists and support personnel, past and present, who labor in difficult places without much recognition or human comfort. It’s a Who’s Who of science, and very few receive awards or devices, theories or systems named for them, all do their part to bring knowledge to we who glibly receive it from our easy chairs.If nothing else resonates with the reader, the glossaries and indices at the end of the book can be used for further study and clarification.Four stars only reflect my inability to understand large sections of the scientific prose, not the author’s vast knowledge or broad-based education, which is quite stunning.I found that having Google Earth and Wikipedia close by enabled me to stop and see many of the places and images contained in his writing. Pictures in the text or at the end of the book would have made this far more enjoyable.If one reads only what they can easily understand, this will be well worth their investment in time. As my father used to say “Eat the meat and spit out the bones
