MessageHey I just bought nice little book about cutting edge of physical research and also remembered that question besides other things.
I don't try to review it, because it speaks for itself.
Book is called The Edge of Physics and it is written by Anil Ananthaswamy.
That this posting would have any content I simply list chapters and add internet addresses of relevant institutions (& their name).
Ch.1 Monks and Astronomers-Mount Wilson Observatory
http://www.mtwilson.edu
Ch.2 The Experiment That Detects Nothing-Cryogenic Dark Matter Search, Soudan Mine, Minnesota
http://www.hep.umn.edu/cdms/
Ch.3 Little Neutral Ones-Baikal Deep Underwater Neutrino Telescope/Baikal Neutrino Observatory
http://www.inr.troitsk.ru/en/ebgnt.html
Ch.4 The Paranal Light Quartet-The Very Large Telescope/Paranal Observatory
http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/vlt.html
Ch.5 Fire, Rock and Ice-W.M. Keck Observatory
http://www.keckobservatory.org
Ch.6 Three Thousand Eyes in the Karoo-Square Kilometre Array
http://www.skatelescope.org
Ch.7 Antimatter over Antarctica-U.S. Antarctic Program/McMurdo Station
http://www.usap.gov
Ch.8 Einstein Meets Quantum Physics at the South Pole-IceCube Neutrino Observatory
http://icecube.wisc.edu
Ch.9 The Heart of Matter-The Large Hadron Collider
http://lhc.web.cern.ch/lhc/
Ch.10 Whispers from Other Universes-Planck (craft), Cosmic Background Explorer, Wilkinson Anisotropy Probe etc.
It's evident that because chapter ten deals with various spacecraft author was not able to visit them like those others which are situated on various quite remote places on Spaceship Earth.
It's worth buying and studying because it gives some information from where much experimental physics comes from.
HOWDY
Ps. I would also like to recommend ANNE ROONEY's The Story of Mathematics again. She is not mathematician herself, but it's still good book. Much better for example than some others published by DOVER (in my opinion). Rehearsing mathematics might become more interesting if one just finds right way to do it.
