Review: At a time when particle physicists are finding themselves increasingly distanced from everyday society, Harald Fritzsch here provides the layman with a readable understanding of particle physics. He begins with the quantum nature of matter and builds up through quarks, quantum electrodynamics, chromodynamics, strong interactions, gauge theories of weak and electromagnetic interactions and mass generation to the Grand Unification theory.
