NAMED A BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF 2021 BY KIRKUS * An acclaimed experimental physicist at CERN takes you on an exhilarating search for the most basic building blocks of our universe, and the dramatic quest to unlock their cosmic origins.  "A fascinating exploration of how we learned what matter really is, and the journey matter takes from the Big Bang, through exploding stars, ultimately to you and me." (Sean Carroll)

 
Carl Sagan once quipped, If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. But finding the ultimate recipe for apple pie means answering some big questions: What is matter really made of? How did it escape annihilation in the fearsome heat of the Big Bang? And will we ever be able to understand the very first moments of our universe?
 
In 
How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch, Harry Cliffa University of Cambridge particle physicist and researcher on the Large Hadron Collidersets out in pursuit of answers. He ventures to the largest underground research facility in the world, deep beneath Italy's Gran Sasso mountains, where scientists gaze into the heart of the Sun using the most elusive of particles, the ghostly neutrino. He visits CERN in Switzerland to explore the "Antimatter Factory," where the stuff of science fiction is manufactured daily (and we're close to knowing whether it falls up). And he reveals what the latest data from the Large Hadron Collider may be telling us about the fundamental nature of matter.
 
Along the way, Cliff illuminates the history of physics, chemistry, and astronomy that brought us to our present understandingand misunderstandingsof the world, while offering readers a front-row seat to one of the most dramatic intellectual journeys human beings have ever embarked on.
 
A transfixing deep dive into the origins of our world, 
How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch examines not just the makeup of our universe, but the awe-inspiring, improbable fact that it exists at all.
