This authoritative work enhances the material outlined in the first volume of Concepts of Particle Physics, presenting it in far greater detail and with a higher degree of sophistication. The authors, both eminent physicists, provide an in-depth discussion of the electromagnetic interaction, explore the accuracy of the quark model by examining the excited states of baryons and mesons, and consider many other topics.

From reviews of Volume 1: '....highly readable, and can be warmly recommended to anyone who wishes to penetrate into this field' Acta Physica Austriaca 'The book may be recommended to anyone who not only wishes to learn the most important concepts of elementary particle physics, but also to study the intellectual atmosphere which gave rise to the exciting discoveries in this field.' Physikalische Blätter `A splendid review of subnuclear phenomena ... Physicists of all stripes have reason to look forward to Volume II with considerable enthusiasm.' Physics Today.

"Gottfried and Weisskopf have given us a fine book, which should make many of the fascinating concepts of particle physics more accessible to the non-high-energy community and at the same time can give those in the field a deeper understanding of their craft. This is no easy task and the authors are to be commended for a job well done." --American Journal of Physics "The first volume overviews the field of particle physics in a readable nonmathematical manner. It is particularly well-suited for students and professional physicists outside of the field who wish to educate themselves about fundamentals and glean some appreciation of the more recent advances. A reader with an understanding of basic quantum mechanics and relativity should find it comprehensible and quite stimulating...The second volume would make an excellent text for an advanced undergraduate course in modern physics or elementary particle physics...Would provide a nice primer for graduate students just starting to learn the subject...For many years, Gottfried and Weisskopf have been active contributors to elementary particle research. They have established reputations for their communication skills and intuitive approach to physics. These well-written books nicely attest to those abilities." --The Scientist
