You don't really need a physics background, and they're aren't any math equations, but it was so full of information that it feels like I'm taking a college course. I guess with a subject as difficult as this, if it were simplified I wouldn't really learn that much. I've read a few other books on the subject (Particle Physics: A Very Short Introduction by Frank Close, Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics by Martinus Veltman and The Particle Garden by Gordon Kane). I learned a lot by each one, because they each cover physics in a different way. If you are willing to put in some time and effort, you will be rewarded. For beginners, I would recommend going to the Wikipedia article about particle physics, and saving and printing the purple, green, red and yellow chart with all the particles; and cutting, saving and printing the chart with the 61 particles. The Particle Adventure is also a great free beginner website. Review: Dated - This book is as advertised, but was published in 2010. There have been numerous discoveries and significant progress in particle physics since then. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1851687866 | | Best Sellers Rank | #496,075 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #26 in Particle Physics | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (80) | | Dimensions | 5.1 x 0.7 x 7.8 inches | | Edition | Beginner's Guides | | ISBN-10 | 9781851687862 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1851687862 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 2011 | | Publisher | Oneworld Publications | ## Images ![Particle Physics: A Beginner's Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GNZhDFL3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating, but pretty technical for non-scientists *by M***N on January 18, 2015* Learned a lot of fascinating things, but as a non-scientist, it was pretty technical.
