Synopsis

Written by one of the world's leading theoretical physicists, this comprehensive volume offers a thorough overview of elementary particle physics and discusses progress in the field over the past two decades. The book forges links between new theoretical concepts and long-established facts in a style that both experts and students should find readable, informative and challenging. A special section explains the use of relativistic quantum units, enabling readers to carry out back-of-the-envelope dimensional estimates.

About this title

Review

"'...those who will find it most useful are students following a course in quantum field theory and particle physics. For them, the book will be valuable to help them distinguish the wood from the trees in their studies. As a professional particle physicist, I expect that I shall consult it from time to time to check the details of standard formulae. As for those who want a semi-popular account of the subject, they should certainly at least look at the book. If they are motivated enough to come to grips with it, they will surely find it rewarding.'."-Contemporary Physics "'Primarily a book for serious students of physics...an ambitious work which ought to be owned by that serious student initially referred to.'."-New Technical Books, New York Public Library
