Recommended Physics Books for Up-to-Date Info on LHC, etc.

AI Thread Summary
Recent discussions on updated physics literature highlight several notable recommendations for readers interested in contemporary topics, particularly the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). "The Quantum Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider" by Don Lincoln is praised for its insightful coverage. Stephen Hawking's "The Grand Design" is also mentioned, although it offers only a brief reference to the LHC. Additionally, Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Universe" is recommended for its coherent exploration of the Higgs field and particles, providing a solid connection to the LHC and complementing Hawking's work. These titles reflect a blend of foundational concepts and recent advancements in physics, appealing to those seeking to deepen their understanding of modern scientific discussions.

I'm currently reading A Brief History of Time, however, it is slightly outdated. Are there any recently released physics books that you would recommend? Perhaps a book that would discuss the LHC and topics such as that.

Hawking has just released "The Grand Design". I've just received it, but haven't read it yet. Glancing at the index, I see he mentions the LHC - only very briefly though! Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Universe" discusses the Higgs field and Higgs particles in a reasonably coherent manner, and mentions the LHC connection. It also has good discussions of most topics that Hawking covers, and it's always good to read two views on these issues. It's quite recent, about five years old.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
