In the second, revised edition of a well-established textbook, the
author strikes a balance between quantitative rigor and intuitive
understanding, using a lively, informal style. The first chapter
provides a detailed historical introduction to the subject, while
subsequent chapters offer a quantitative presentation of the
Standard Model. A simplified introduction to the Feynman rules,
based on a "toy" model, helps readers learn the calculational
techniques without the complications of spin. It is followed by
accessible treatments of quantum electrodynamics, the strong and
weak interactions, and gauge theories. New chapters address
neutrino oscillations and prospects for physics beyond the Standard
Model. The book contains a number of worked examples and many
end-of-chapter problems. A complete solution manual is available
for instructors.
