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.

Every undergraduate particle course should use this book. It makes particle physics extremely accessible and fun. It should be helpful for graduate school too and I am definitely keeping my copy
I friggin love this book. The same quality you had in his other two is in this one. Absolutely delightful!
Great book so far.Book arrived quickly, as described (US edition), and in good condition.Thanks!
My 16 yr old son asked for this book for Christmas. He had been reading it daily since Christmas Day, he says "this is a really good book". I know strange gift request.
Griffiths, he's great. If you've read and understood undergrad mechanics, e&m (Griffiths), and quantum mechanics (Griffiths), then you're ready for this book and you'll know what to expect from Griffiths.I like his wordy introductionto the subject---he tells the history of particle mechanics like a story, thus making it easier to memorize the particle's names and properties. I'm using this book as a backup to Perkins. Perkins flies through this stuff, Griffiths actually explains it.The font size in this paper back print is kinda small, maybe 10 (pt).Some of the information in this book is dated given the youth of the subject. Nonetheless, I'm finding it to be a good introductory text.
Let customers speak for us
from 900 reviewsThe book arrived in excellent condition. Great price on a usually expensive book.
NEW BOOK. Trusted seller
I didn’t want to spend a lot for this DSM-5 TR and considered ordering a copied version. This book was the only one that had good reviews and was rated authentic. Item arrived brand new and in condition. Also, the tabs seen in the photo were an additional purchase and I’m very glad I got them. It makes finding things so much easier.
Excellent book to review the industry
Perfect for writing papers
Susan Johnson is the best.I highly recommend her work.
Great information
I am really digging in to this. Even though it is an academic book, I find it highly readable and pragmatic. I am chewing slowly on pieces and am using my attachment TANGO (read the book) with my individual clients to great effect. Previously I would use an attachment frame but it wasn’t as focused and organized. Really an orienting perspective. Of course I am also integrating this precisely written guide with my couples, as I am an EFT coupletherapist. And for classroom teaching the first few chapters alone highlight—and back up with research the reliability of attachment as a unifying frame. I call it my “map for human” and itReally is. Thank you Sur for putting all that research in one place.
To better understand qualitative research, data analysis, validity, etc... this is an outstanding book!
Loved how this book highlights the personality of the trader being the most likely predictor or success or failure. It applies also to many other areas in life including sales.
It's approach towards trading and defining the basic elements of success in the market is exactly what is missing from basically all of the trading books out there.
The media could not be loaded.The beginner traders or traders who’ve been in the business for, however, how long are already out probably know about this book, but primarily for beginners like myself rookies definitely worth the read and a book took the collection!
I really like this amazing idea for renting 👍I got this book for my daughter Collegeneeds ... absolutely amazing idea ,,,,Buying books it’s so expensive ....
I was able to build healthy habits and forget bad habits which has changed my lifestyle.
This was the most interesting read for me this year.The material kept me engaged and doing a ton of self review along the way.This feels like this book will become an operating manual for the rest of my life.Looking forward to continually applying these concepts in my life.
