Old World, New Grid CERN's massive parallel processing system is expanding from particle physics to everything else, and from Europe to everywhere...

I am reading Fabrizo Gagliardi & Francois Grey's article, "Old World, New Grid CERN's massive parallel processing system is expanding from particle physics to everything else, and from Europe to everywhere else" , in the July 2006 issue of IEEE Spectrum magazine.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research operates the large Hadron Collider in Switzerland near Geneva.
It is expected to generate so much data that a very large group of computers is needed just to store and process the data.
I am looking for the book The Grid: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure by
Ian Foster and Carl
Kesselman.
I am also looking for the book Angles & Demons by Dan Brown.
