A tad dated Copyright 1980

I still use this book even though the world has moved on. It is well written, so it makes sense to almost everyone. From the back cover: Chapter 1: The Quest for the Ultimate Simplicity Chapter 2: The Nucleus Chapter 3: A New Physics for a New World Chapter 4: Energy, Matter, Antimatter Chapter 5: The Discovery of Mesons and Other Strange Things Chapter 6: The Coming of Accelerators Chapter 7: The Proliferation of Elementary Particles Chapter 8: The Search for Order amid Chaos Chapter 9: The Road to the Quark Model Chapter 10: Evidence of the Quark Model Chapter 11: Where Are They? Chapter 12: Charm and Proliferation of Quarks Chapter 13: Leptons and Weak Interactions Chapter 14: New Trends and Old Problems There are a few diagrams and formulas to support what you are reading.
