Editorial Reviews: Review “Gottfried and Weisskopf have given us a fine book, which should make many of the fascinating concepts of particle physics more accessible to the non-high-energy community and at the same time can give those in the field a deeper understanding of their craft. This is no easy task and the authors are to be commended for a job well done.” –American Journal of Physics”The first volume overviews the field of particle physics in a readable nonmathematical manner. It is particularly well-suited for students and professional physicists outside of the field who wish to educate themselves about fundamentals and glean some appreciation of the more recent advances. A reader with an understanding of basic quantum mechanics and relativity should find it comprehensible and quite stimulating…The second volume would make an excellent text for an advanced undergraduate course in modern physics or elementary particle physics…Would provide a nice primer for graduate students just starting to”Gottfried and Weisskopf have given us a fine book, which should make many of the fascinating concepts of particle physics more accessible to the non-high-energy community and at the same time can give those in the field a deeper understanding of their craft.

For that reason this book does not really belong to what we may call the written tradition of physics. About the Author Kurt Gottfried is at Cornell University. Victor F. Weisskopf is at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Read more
