The history of particle physics goes back over one hundred years to J. B. Perrin's disco
that cathode rays are a flow of negatively charged particles. Exactly a century later, th
particle physics closed an important chapter with the experimental confirmation of the
sixth and last quark, the top quark. This detailed chronology defines the whole disciplin
and high-energy physics. Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries recounts
history of the search for the ultimate constituents of matter by presenting key material
500 seminal papers in particle physics. Of great interest are the actual excerpts from th
papers. This annotated, chronological bibliography presents the most influential theore
experimental discoveries in particle physics, many of which have been cited for the Nob
general introduction places the original articles in historical context. For each entry the
description explaining the importance of the discovery, followed by complete bibliograp
including title, authors, abstracts or excerpts and references. Readers will find J. J. Tho

18 The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by Rebecca Skloot

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor South
farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells?taken without h
knowledge?became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first ?immortal? h
grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than six
could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they?d weigh more than 50 million me
much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the pol
uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb?s effects; helped lead to imp
advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought a
billions.

Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.

Now Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the ?colored? ward of
Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells; from H
small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia?a land of wooden slave quarters, faith healin
voodoo?to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live and struggl
legacy of her cells.

Henrietta?s family did not learn of her ?immortality? until more than twenty years afte
when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research w
consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells hum
materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly show
the Lacks family?past and present?is inextricably connected to the dark history of expe
African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control
are made of.

Over the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives o
family?especially Henrietta?s daughter Deborah, who was devastated to learn about he
cells. She was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Did it hurt
researchers infected her cells with viruses and shot them into space? What happened t
Elsie, who died in a mental institution at the age of fifteen? And if her mother was so im
medicine, why couldn?t her children afford health insurance?

by James C. Collins

Built To Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great compa

from the very beginning.
But what about companies that are not born with great DNA? How can good companies
companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? Are there those that con
mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? If so, what are the distinguishing chara
cause a company to go from good to great?
Over five years, Jim Collins and his research team have analyzed the histories of 28 co
discovering why some companies make the leap and others don't. The findings include
• Level 5 Leadership: A surprising style, required for greatness.
• The Hedgehog Concept: Finding your three circles, to transcend the curse of
• A Culture of Discipline: The alchemy of great results.
• Technology Accelerators: How good-to-great companies think differently abo
• The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Why those who do frequent restructuring
leap.
Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great c
so, how?" In Good to Great Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is poss
there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sor
list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their
over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and W
discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corpora
Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest
innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy. At the heart o
and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted
people to think and act in a disciplined manner. Peppered with dozens of stories and ex
the great and not so great, the book offers a well-reasoned road map to excellence tha
organization would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those
managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come. --Harry C. Edwar

74 Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII

by John Cornwell

Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, has long been the subject of controversy over his failure
against Hitler's Final Solution. In Hitler's Pope, award-winning journalist and Roman Ca
Cornwell shows that, even well before the Holocaust, Pope Pius XII was instrumental in
accord that helped the Nazis rise to unhindered power--and sealed the fate of the Jews

Drawing upon secret Vatican and Jesuit archives to which he had exclusive access, Cor
full, tragic story of how narcissism, longstanding personal antipathy for the Jews, and p
spiritual ambition combined to make Pius the most dangerous churchman in history. A
indictment of Pius XII's papacy, Hitler's Pope is also a searing exploration of its lingerin
for the Catholic church today.This devastating account of the ecclesiastical career of Eu
(1876-1958), who became Pope Pius XII in 1939, is all the more powerful because Brit
John Cornwell maintains throughout a measured though strongly critical tone. After Wo
murmurs of Pacelli's callous indifference to the plight of Europe's Jews began to be hea
commentator on Catholic issues, Cornwell began research for this book believing that "
were told, Pius XII's pontificate would be exonerated." Instead, he emerged from the V
in a state of "moral shock," concluding that Pacelli displayed anti-Semitic tendencies ea
his drive to promote papal absolutism inexorably led him to collaboration with fascist le
convincingly depicts Cardinal Secretary of State Pacelli pursuing Vatican diplomatic goa
 Germany's large Catholic political party, which might otherwise have stymied Hitler's w
The author's condemnation has special force because he portrays the admittedly eccen
as a monster but as a symptom of a historic wrong turn in the Catholic Church. He met
his case for the painful conclusion that "Pacelli's failure to respond to the enormity of th
was more than a personal failure, it was a failure of the papal office itself and the preva
Catholicism." --Wendy Smith

"[A] fascinating but in some respects flawed book...The trouble with Cornwell's book lie
sensationalism."

The first and last economic depression that you will experience in your lifetime is just a

almost every market, ushering in a downturn like most of us have not experienced bef
aware that we have seen long-term peaks in our stock market and economy very close
years due to generational spending trends: as in 1929, 1968, and next around 2009? A
that oil and commodity prices have peaked nearly every 30 years, as in 1920, 1951, 19
likely around late 2009 to mid-2010? The three massive bubbles that have been boomi
few decades -- stocks, real estate, and commodities -- have all reached their peak and
simultaneously.
Bestselling author and renowned economic forecaster Harry S. Dent, Jr., has observed
for decades. As he first demonstrated in his bestsellingThe Great Boom Ahead, he has
analytical techniques that allow him to predict the impact they will have. The Great De
Ahead explains "The Perfect Storm" as peak oil prices collide with peaking generational
trends by 2010, leading to a more severe downtrend for the global economy and indivi
alike.
He predicts the following:
• The economy appears to recover from the subprime crisis and minor recessio
-- "the calm before the real storm."
• Stock prices start to crash again between mid- and late 2009 into late 2010,
finally bottom around mid-2012 -- between Dow 3,800 and 7,200.
• The economy enters a deeper depression between mid-2010 and early 2011,
extending off and on into late 2012 or mid-2013.
• Asian markets may bottom by late 2010, along with health care, and be the f
opportunities in stocks.
• Gold and precious metals will appear to be a hedge at first, but will ultimately
well after mid- to late 2010.
• A first major stock rally, likely between mid-2012 and mid-2017, will be follo
setback around late 2019/early 2020.
• The next broad-based global bull market will be from 2020-2023 into 2035-2
Conventional investment wisdom will no longer apply, and investors on every level -- f
dollar firms to the individual trader -- must drastically reevaluate their policies in order
despite the dire news and dark predictions, there are real opportunities to come from t

Throughout, the author keeps the essence of the scientific enterprise clearly in front of
