About this title

Review:

"A clear and readable introduction to the subject, this book bridges the gap between traditional textbooks on particle physics and popular accounts that assume little or no background in the physical sciences on the part of the reader." Nuclear News "Aimed at physics graduate students who are not specializing in particle physics, but is accessible to anyone with a background in physical science. Highly recommended." B.R. Parker, Choice "...Concise explanations and clear diagrams reward determined readers. Many ideas are discussed cogently in this book." Norman Sherman, Physics in Canada

Book Description:

This third edition is a readable introduction to the world of particle physics for anyone with a background in the physical sciences.
