I got this book before presenting at my first Geophysics conference. My first of two flights had been delayed and so I was one of the last people on the plane for the second flight and I ended up having to gate-check my bag for the conference with all of my presentation and conference clothes, registration, and other important information. When the gate assistant asked if I wanted to grab anything from my bag I opened it and grabbed just this book, not any of the other stuff… yeah I was excited for this. I put the book in my arm and got on the plane. As I made my way to my seat at the back of the plane, everyone was looking at me and giving me weird looks. I had gotten on a plane late before and that had not been the case. So I looked down and realized the front cover of the book was facing out. I quickly turned it around, so the front cover was facing me, and I got fewer looks the rest of the way to my seat. I enjoyed reading about elementary particles for the rest of the flight. Still can’t believe that was all I actually grabbed for the flight, that could have gone so wrong. Love the book, still have it. It and particle physics hold a special place in my heart.
