Good book about elementary particles for high school students?

Some days ago, I've found this:

When I was in high-school, They taught me about electrons, protons and neutrons, I've heard about other particles while reading stuff but I've read only their name, not their properties.

I got curious about them and then I thought about searching a book (It could be something like a pop science book) with commentaries on the discovery and properties of these particles.

  • Oh groan, that just does not look right! Quarks can't be said to have been established until some crucial experiments in the 70s and Gell-Mann's theory. I'm not sure either concept or experimental discovery belongs in the 1960s. – DarenW Sep 10 '12 at 03:58
  • @DarenW It was clear by the mid 1960s that there was a substructure to the nucleon and the excitations of that structure were possible, which may be the motivation for choosing that time frames as the "conception" for the light quarks. – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Sep 10 '12 at 14:55
