Reddit reviews The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics

No, it is that last piece of the puzzle that has been dubbed "The theory of almost everything".

Also a great read - http://www.amazon.com/The-Theory-Almost-Everything-Standard/dp/0452287863/ref=pd_sim_b_4

In my opinion the best way to learn and understand the chaos of sub-atomic particle and their place is to start with the trying to understand the standard model. It is the model in which everything is supposed to fit. It's the big picture.

If you have time to spare, consider watching these video lectures

Or pick up this book meant for people not well versed in math http://www.amazon.com/The-Theory-Almost-Everything-Standard/dp/0452287863

Or if you're a masochist and feel you're upto the task of really understand this stuff take a look at http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Elementary-Particles-David-Griffiths/dp/3527406018/ref=pd_sim_b_1

That book tries to see the physics beyond the standard model, marching towards and inching closer towards the ultimate goal of physics.

The Theory of Almost Everything

I'd check this book out: http://www.amazon.com/The-Theory-Almost-Everything-Standard/dp/0452287863/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341501920&sr=8-1&keywords=the+theory+of+almost+everything

The Standard Model was just yesterday proven even more correct with the discovery of the Higgs boson. This book is a simple intro to a lot of quantum concepts.

Origin of the Species. Charles Darwin. Its an easy read. And since it is in the public domain you can find it for free.
