This is not the fault of Marcelo Gleiser, because he's trying his best to give a very brief crash course of particle physics, but the second part of this book is a slog. I'm still not exactly sure what a scalar field is. BUT I only have a little further to read until he starts answering interesting philosophical stuff, and that's my real forte. I'm no good at science, unfortunately.
