Particle physics as we know it depends on the Higgs boson: It's the missing link between the birth of our universe--as a sea of tiny, massless particles--and the tangible world we live in today. But for more than 50 years, scientists wondered: Does it exist?
Physicist Jon Butterworth was at the frontlines of the hunt for the Higgs at CERN's Large Hadron Collider--perhaps the most ambitious experiment in history. In Most Wanted Particle, he gives us the first inside account of that uncertain time, when an entire field hinged on a single particle, and life at the cutting edge of science meant media scrutiny, late-night pub debates, dispiriting false starts in the face of intense pressure, and countless hours at the collider itself. As Butterworth explains, our first glimpse of the elusive Higgs brings us a giant step closer to understanding the universe--and points the way to an entirely new kind of physics.

'Ageing, Corporeality and Embodiment' argues that both ageing as a unitary social process and agedness as a distinct social location have become fragmented. The book concentrates on the emergence of a 'new ageing' mediated in part through the processes of 'embodiment'.
The first section provides the main theoretical context for the book, with the first chapter outlining the new 'sociology of the body' and the second outlining the emergence of new ageing and its 're-orientation' toward the body. The second section explores the relationship between new ageing and key aspects of embodied identity, namely gender, race, disability and sexuality. In each of these sections, the authors provide a brief historical perspective on the emergence of these embodied identities as social movements during the cultural ferment of the 1960s, and explore their subsequent confrontation, or avoidance of confrontation with, the issue of ageing.
The third section covers embodied practices, from sexual practice and its re-orientation toward age and ageing, to the embodied practices of 'appearance management', particularly those associated with cosmetics, clothing and fashion. Finally, the book considers 'new enhancement technologies' of the body, such as plastic surgery, with relation to ideas of 'rejuvenation'. By focusing upon those embodied practices that are oriented toward age and ageing, and their place in expressing, maintaining or recreating other 'pre-performed' identities, the work allows a more embodied understanding of ageing and its diverse engagements within society to be realised.
