Sommario/riassunto

Among the current books that celebrate the discovery of the Higgs boson, Cracking the Particle Code of the Universe is a rare objective treatment of the subject. The book is an insider's behind-the-scenes look at the arcane, fascinating world of theoretical and experimental particle physics leading up to the recent discovery of a new boson. If the new boson is indeed the Higgs particle, its discovery represents an important milestone in the history of particle physics. However, despite the pressure to award Nobel Prizes to physicists associated with the Higgs boson, John Moffat argues that the

Sommario/riassunto

Awareness of food safety and its economic significance has never been higher after public alarm following the BSE crisis and the Foot-and-Mouth outbreak.This classic text is an essential handbook for all



persons involved in meat inspection and the meat industry seeking information on the latest diseases and parasites. Now in its seventh edition, it has been revised to reflect the latest knowledge of BSE, Foot-and-Mouth and TB. Information on specific diseases, parasites and physiological processes has been updated and the latest legislation included. As well as this, a new chapter on i
