Rated 4 starsfor physicists outside particle physics
I knew one of the authors (Coughlan) when we were undergraduates at the University of Western Australia. So it was with some interest that I went through this book. While I can't tell which was his contribution and which was the other author's, the combined effort is an elegant rendition of particle physics, circa late 1980s. A merit of the book is who it is pitched at. It is not really for a generalist outside physics...

Rated 5 starsThe best particle physics book! ever
This is such an up to date and accurate book I have never read a book that explains particle physics in such detail yet keeps the information understandable. If your are just starting out in particle physics read this book. It's brilliant!

Rated 5 starsClear, concise, explanations accessible to undergrad student
Excellent use of figures and pictures in place of equations. Useful for an undergrad survey course, or as a reference for grad courses. Fred Olness, SMU
