Here's a quote from the introduction:

"If there are roots to western science, they no doubt lie under the rubble that was once ancient Greece. With the exception of the Greeks, ancient people had little interest in the structure of materials. [...] Recent experiments have revealed that there are, indeed, several basic particles, or building blocks within all substances."

The document doesn't read like a usual textbook, it feels lighter though maybe a little less rigorous. Interesting read nonetheless!
