In an intriguing take on the Large Hadron Collider, authors Anton Radevsky & Emma Sanders have (together with collaboration from CERN and UK publishing house Papadakis) created a pop-up book based on the Large Hadron Collider's ATLAS experiment. The book, Voyage to the Heart of the Matter: The ATLAS Experiment at CERN, focuses on the ATLAS experiment, which seeks to discover the Higgs boson. This is the final particle predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics which remains to be observed in an experiment, and it's prediction is based on the need of a particle to generate mass in other particles.
I don't have a copy of the book (yet), so I can't actually endorse it ... but judging just from the YouTube video, it looks quite impressive, and I'm looking forward to seeing the book in person and hopefully getting an opportunity to perform a full review of it. In the meantime, the holidays are coming...
