â€œA modern voyage of discovery.â€ â€”Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate, author of The Lightness of Being

The Higgs boson is one of our eraâ€™s most fascinating scientific frontiers and the key to understanding why mass exists. The most recent book on the subject, The God Particle, was a bestseller. Now, Caltech physicist Sean Carroll documents the doorway that is openingâ€”after billions of dollars and the efforts of thousands of researchers at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerlandâ€”into the mind-boggling world of dark matter. The Particle at the End of the Universe has it all: money and politics, jealousy and self-sacrifice, history and cutting-edge physicsâ€”all grippingly told by a rising star of science writing.
