Tales from the Subatomic Zoo

This book is the product of many years of teaching a course at Vassar College on subatomic physics for non-science majors. As a final exercise in the course, the students were required to write a short story or poem with subatomic particles as the main characters. I have collected the very best of them in this book. This book is light reading; meant to entertain! For science lovers, science teachers, physics teachers and particle physics people.
