  what scientists do there every day\, and the groundbreaking discoveries t
 hat have transformed our understanding of the universe\, as well as what l
 ies ahead for the future.\nWritten by a former CERN engineer and an experi
 enced official guide\, the book makes the science behind these discoveries
  accessible and engaging\, answering the many questions that naturally ari
 se among scientifically curious visitors. Richly illustrated and written w
 ith clarity and enthusiasm\, it is an ideal introduction for anyone taking
  their first step into the fascinating world of high-energy physics and CE
 RN.\nThe event will be followed by a Q&A and signing sessions. The book is

 é Rubio is an official guide and retired electronic engineer at CERN\, S
 witzerland. He joined CERN in 1969 as an electromagnetic engineer\, where 
 he was responsible for driving and correcting secondary beams from the Pro
 ton Synchrotron (PS) to fixed targets in the east and south zones. During 
 machine shutdowns\, he also worked with Carlo Rubbia's team on spark chamb
 er experiments.\nIn 1975\, he joined the team responsible for beam correct
 ions from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) to targets in the west zone\,
  and later contributed to beam guidance and correction systems for the SPS
  accelerator. In 1995\, he began to dedicate part of his working time to C
 ERN's tours service as an official guide\, continuing in this role until h
 is retirement in November 2003. Since then\, he has remained actively invo
