The second volume of this authoritative work traces the material
outlined in the first, but in far greater detail and with a much
higher degree of sophistication. The authors begin with the theory
of the electromagnetic interaction, and then consider hadronic
structure, exploring the accuracy of the quark model by examining
the excited states of baryons and mesons. They introduce the color
variable as a prelude to the development of quantum chromodynamics,
the theory of the strong interaction, and go on to discuss the
electroweak interaction--the broken symmetry of which they explain
by the Higgs mechanism--and conclude with a consideration of grand
unification theories.
