Very Helpful Book, Jan 4 2000
By David N. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo: A Guide to Particle Physics (Paperback)
I have found this book simple and straightforward. It is a great introduction that cuts out unnecessary detail and introduces students to the basic facts they need to know. I give this book to both undergraduate and graduate students who join my High Energy Physics research group. Though it is aimed at a more general audience, I find that it is a nice focused introduction and confidence builder for my research students.

This review is from: A Tour of the Subatomic Zoo: A Guide to Particle Physics (Paperback)
This book has some value, hence 2 stars not one. But slogging through student essays on how quarks date (really!)is insufferable. Get Gordan Kane's "The Particle Garden" and get more.
