"Muon capture in nuclei has been a secluded garden slightly off the main tourist routes of particle and nuclear physics. Few major discoveries have been made there, but it has often been a refuge where one could admire the beauty of nature and verify the ideas which were created elsewhere. The weak interaction has been a fertile zone of sub-atomic physics."

-Introduction to 'The nuclear physics of muon capture', by D.F. Measday (2000)

More books about niche subjects should start with excessively flowery metaphors
