The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics by Robert Oerter

4.0

A thorough chronological journey through the development of the world's most precisely confirmed scientific theory. I found it interesting to see the history of how the SM developed (my main interest as I had studied the actual science in university, although this was a good refresher of the basic principles, without the maths). Not really a history, not really a text book, but a good over view for the advanced amateur.
