Antimatter by Frank Close
3.0
This is a very short book about antimatter, but it took me a really long time to read because it was very difficult to understand in places. The beginning gave the impression of being more of a popular science book with lots of bad jokes and whatnot but things grew in complexity to the point where I was rereading certain sentences again and again. I don't regret reading it because its specificity to antimatter makes it different than the more general physics material I've read (like when I read that book on black holes, [b:The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics|2161966|The Black Hole War My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics|Leonard Susskind|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344267226s/2161966.jpg|2167491]), but it was tough going.
It's also almost 10 years out of date now, so if I really want to know about antimatter, I'm going to have to update myself on the more recent discoveries.
