Review
The book seems to me to be remarkably successful. The reader is led through all the ideas in an orderly way. Allday is thoughtful about the needs of the student, and careful to anticipate possible difficulties and misconceptions. His style is lively. There are plenty of nice clear line drawings and interesting black and white illustrations … I believe it will give pleasure to many people, and they will learn a lot from it. It should be widely used.

A complete overview of what is necessary to understand particle physics, including some information about relativity and quantum physics, is provided in this book … Each of the 15 chapters includes bulleted summary of the important points and notes. Numerous line drawings and black and white photographs illustrate the text … Whilst not a reference book, this is highly recommended for academic libraries and is also suitable for public libraries with a clientele interested in learning about physics.

Book Description
Quarks, Leptons and the Big Bang, Second Edition is a clear, readable, and self-contained introduction to particle physics and related areas of cosmology. It bridges the gap between non-technical popular accounts and textbooks for advanced students. The author concentrates on presenting the subject from the modern perspective of quarks, leptons, and the forces between them. This approach enables readers to grasp the essential concepts more easily than the traditional approach involving the complex interactions of hadrons. It then proceeds to apply these ideas to the modern theory of cosmology. Necessary background material on relativity and quantum mechanics is included but advanced mathematics is avoided.

Book Info
Second edition brings the reader right up to date with results established over the last few years, especially in cosmology. Necessary background material on relativity and quantum mechanics is included but advanced mathematics is avoided. Softcover.
