Deep Down Things : The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics
Editorial Reviews
New Scientist, January 15, 2005
Quantum field theory, group theory, Lie algebras... [Schumm] does a remarkably good job ... with a style that is mercifully plain.
Review
"A fascinating journey into the bizarre, subatomic world of particle physics." -- PhysOrg.com
"Quantum field theory, group theory, Lie algebras, internal symmetry spaces and gauge theory. [Schumm] does a remarkably good job of explaining all this, with a style that is mercifully plain. " -- Peter de Groot, New Scientist
"Explores the world of particle physics in terms laymen can understand. " -- Santa Cruz Sentinel
"I expect that any physics undergraduate, bewildered by textbooks and lectures, would find this a delight." -- Stephen Battersby, New Scientist
"One of several recently published books attempting to provide for interested nonphysicists a relatively nonmathematical account of what has come to be called the standard model of particle physics... Schumm's treatment is perhaps more detailed." -- Choice
