Modern Elementary Particle Physics: Explaining and Extending the Standard Model 2nd Edition

Very concise yet informative.

This book is great for a graduate student looking to get a overview of particle physics. It can be used for an advanced undergraduate student but QFT, QCD, and Graduate level QM needed to o fully appreciate book.

The content of the book is fine -- you need a solid quantum background, however, so it's not for someone trying to "work their way up from nothing". But there are formulas and images in the book that are LITERALLY unreadable in the kindle. They are so tiny and don't change with the font, and the kindle doesn't allow you to zoom. The formulas are vital to this book, it tries to give you a decent qualitative understanding of the concepts, so it basically makes the whole thing unreadable. The exponents to functions, you can't even see (see image.)If you buys this, PLEASE make sure to get a solid copy.Amazon -- PLEASE make sure images, especially in textbooks, are a larger size before selling it on Kindle!!
