The Standard Model in a Nutshell: In a Nutshell

"I've never read a clearer or more approachable presentation of the Standard Model. This book is a welcome gem for students."--Christopher G. Tully, author of Elementary Particle Physics in a Nutshell

"A very complete book, with a lot of information, nice problems, and reference appendixes."--Mario Campanelli, University College London

"This has the potential to become the standard book for an introductory course on the Standard Model. It builds up all the essential tools from basic knowledge, impressively merging fields, Lagrangians, and symmetries to allow for an appreciation of the structure and beauty of the Standard Model. It also gives students the needed tools to actually perform basic calculations."--Craig Copi, Case Western Reserve University

"Novel and timely. Goldberg presents an accessible, bare-bones approach to quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics. He builds up the Standard Model step-by-step, and provides numerous exercises."--Derek Raine, coauthor of Black Holes: A Student Text
