"… a pedagogical, thorough, and enjoyable introduction to this
fascinating subject. … a carefully written textbook on the Standard
Model in the post-LHC era, at the level of a graduate-level course.
… Theorists and phenomenologists with an interest in particle
physics would also do well to acquire a copy. … The biggest
strength of this book is its pedagogical clarity. … Apart from the
pedagogical value for novices, the later chapters of the book are
interesting for active high-energy physicists as well … as a
textbook, Palash Pal’s tome on particle physics is accessibly
written for serious beginning students, and is a great addition to
the bookshelves of seasoned scientists interested in the
phenomenological foundations of the Standard Model."
