Best Sci-Tech Books 2010
34 titles spanning Big Science to zoology Mar 1, 2011
Big science is the term given to those global, high-tech, multilaboratory, billion-dollar research enterprises that tackle the very frontiers of scientific knowledge. Two of the largest Big Science initiatives ever undertaken are the Human Genome Project and the construction of the CERN nuclear research particle accelerator.
