this pop-up book has the most accurate paper Large Hadron Collider ever. [...] It'll satisfy both the physics dork and the bookworm inside me all at once
Gizmodo

The Science experiment that people feared would end the world, is now available as a coffee-table book, and a damn fine one at that. [...] A great way to understand the biggest science experiment of our time
Shiny Shiny – A girl's guide to gadgets

[The book] neatly combines the two reasons why the LHC makes people go 'wow': the exotic sounding physics (recreating big bang, smashing particles together, dark matter, God particle...) and the sheer magnificence of the machinery itself. [...] It would undoubtedly go down well as a Christmas present with science enthusiasts
Hannah Devlin, The Times

In this unique collaboration between CERN and renowned paper engineer Anton Radevsky, 7000 tonnes of metal, glass, plastic, cables and computer chips leap from the page in miniature pop-up, to tell the story of CERN’s quest to understand the birth of the universe. Protons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, collide within the heart of the ATLAS detector, sending out showers of debris to recreate 40 million times a second the conditions that existed millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the event that set our universe in motion.

Now all ages can join the ATLAS experiment on this fascinating journey to the beginnings of the universe in this astonishing pop-up book.

About the authors: Anton Radevsky is a pop-up engineer and illustrator and lives in Sofia, Bulgaria. His previous books include The Modern Architecture Pop-Up Book, The Pop-Up Book Of Space Craft and The Wild West Pop-Up Book.

Emma Sanders is the head of Microcosm, CERN’s museum of particle physics in Geneva, Switzerland.
