• Great question in science - questions like the ones Herschel raised about the structure of the universe - are seldom answered by ivory-tower types engaging in pure thought. They are answered by people who are willing to get down into the trenches and grapple with nature. If that means casting your own telescope mirrors, as Herschel did, so be it.

• Durante casi medio siglo, el Fermilab ha ocupado el centro del escenario en el que los físicos han tratado de comprender la estructura fundamental del universo. El laboratorio merece una buena historia, y me complace decir que en este libro la tiene. Los autores presentan un relato convincente, matizado y rico en detalles del lugar, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad.
