<p>Praise for Stanley Greenberg:</p> <p>"Stately and haunting."-- <i>The New Yorker</i> , on <i>Invisible New York</i></p> <p>"Magnificent photographs."--Philip Lopate, on <i>Architecture Under Construction</i></p> <p>"Stanley Greenberg's photographs . . . capture the essence of urban life."--Gerard Koeppel, author of <i>Water for Gotham</i> , on <i>Waterworks</i></p> <p>The great, elusive goal of experimental physics from the mid-twentieth century to today has been to recreate the prevailing conditions during the universe's first trillionth of a second. In its pursuit, scientists have chased after sub-atomic particles using cloud chambers, bubble chambers, cyclotrons, synchrotrons, linear accelerators, and ever larger and more powerful colliders, culminating with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. Meanwhile, the hunt for neutrinos has gone underground, underwater, and under ice. From Fermilab in Chicago to ICECUBE in Antarctica, Stanley Greenberg has gained unprecedented access to even the remotest of the world's major high-energy physics sites to reveal them as never before. Compelling to the eye and the mind, the black-and-white photographs collected here capture the mysterious architecture and extraordinary beauty of science.</p> <p><b>Stanley Greenberg</b>'s photographs are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His books include <i>Invisible New York: The Hidden Infrastructure of the City</i> , <i>Waterworks: A Photographic Journey Through New York's Hidden Water System</i> , and <i>Architecture Under Construction</i> . Greenberg has received a Guggenheim Fellowship. He lives in New York City.</p> <p><b>David C. Cassidy</b> is the author of <i>Beyond Uncertainty</i> , <i>J. Robert Oppenheimer and the American Century</i> , <i>Einstein and Our World</i> , and <i>Uncertainty</i> .</p>
