First Edition
1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF AN EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF THE PROPERTIES OF LEPTONS, MESONS, AND BARYONS BY THE INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION OF PARTICLE PHYSICISTS. 305 pages in length, "are evaluated, listed, averaged, and summarized in tables. Numerous tables, figures, and formulae of interest to particle physicists are also included" (Abstract, April 1984). Note that the full table-of-contents has been scanned and is included with the photos. "TheParticle Data Group(orPDG). compiles and reanalyzes published results related to the properties ofparticlesandfundamental interactions. It also publishes reviews of theoretical results that are phenomenologically relevant, including those in related fields such ascosmology" (Wikipedia). CONDITION & DETAILS: Original printed wraps.

G.; Wohl, C.G; J.D. Jackson. (And others!) Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries An Annotated Chronological Bibliography. New York, AIP, Spinger Verlag, 1996. 328pp. 10"x 8.5" Glossy heavy wrappers. VG copy (7/10). The only real detriment is that the wrappers curl up about an inch at the exemities, front and back. Someone has read the book, and read it through, I reckon. Still with that said this is a nice copy. Okay, if you have an interest in 20th c physics then you have got to have this book. ANNOTATED chrono-biliography says it all. What a huge time-saver and insightful work this is. That's all I can say about this work, really. If you don't have it you should?or you should at least know about it and put it to use via your library. (Sorry for going on like this?I just like this book!) 714.3.
