Book
Atom : Journey across the subatomic cosmos / Isaac Asimov ; illustrated by D.F. Bach.
This book begins with the earliest speculations and investigations of matter by the Greeks and Romans, and then, step by step and century by century, it traces the path of discovery that revealed more and more of the nature of the atom, of light, of gravity, or the electromagnetic force and even the nature and structure of the universe. It also encompasses such phenomena as light and electricity; the protons, neutrons, and quarks that are the fundamental units of the universe; hard-to-observe anti-particles; and other strange bits of matter.
