This is an automatically translated description

Sean Carroll, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology and an acclaimed science writer, reveals the ideas, searches, and wonders that led to the discovery of the Higgs boson. It is a fundamental particle that cannot be observed directly, but whose existence can be inferred from indirect evidence in a high-energy accelerator. The book also describes the Higgs boson in the context of particle physics, which Carroll explains beautifully, using many metaphors from everyday experience to give some concreteness to very abstract concepts. His style is characterised by a sense of humour and the ability to engage the reader.
