It covers fundamental particles, forces, and advanced topics like the Higgs mechanism and String Theory, all without heavy mathematical formalism, making it perfect for professionals seeking scientific insight with clarity and style. ## Description Buy Introduction to Elementary Particles, 2nd, Revised Edition 2nd, Revised by Griffiths, David (ISBN: 9783527406012) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Excellent book! (and a printing problem) - ⚠️ A warning follows. This book is wonderful, and does exactly what it intends to do: a broad and detailed (and also historical!) introduction to, and review of, particle physics, WITHOUT going to into field theory. This could be a great read BEFORE studying field theory. Griffiths is a great teacher, and the book is written with the reader in mind. Love it. ⚠️ The warning: my copy, bought on desertcart UK and also printed in the UK, had a printing problem: printed too small, leaving much of the page white, making it a bit strenuous to read. Shame. The paper is of good quality, but printing is tiny. Review: The best book on Elementary Particles. - As the other two books of Griffiths, it's the best book on it's level. Griffiths begins with the interesting History of elementary particles, form the electron to the Standrad Model (I've never read it before), letting you how every kind of particle was discovered. Then it makes a review of the elementary forces and gives a intuitive notion of how their behaviour. Then, it explains the Dirac's equation and explains its solutions. After this, each elementary force (QED, QCD and weak), are explained. It has also has a chapter on gauge freedom, SU(2) group and Higgs mechanism. It aso has a final chapter with the future and the challenges of the Elementary Particles such as String Theory, Dark Matter and Grand Unification Theories. The writing style is mainly fenomenological and one doesn't need high level mathematics. Even though it uses Feynman diagrams (only at first order), it's not explained where they come form and one might think they are pure mathematical stuff, or worst, the lines are the actual paths of the particles. So the diagrams should be covered with a Quantum Field Theory book. It's also remarkable the friendly style that characteristizes Griffiths. So, excellent book to adquire an intuitive idea in the world of the elementary particles and their forces. If you want a formal and rigurous mathematical background you should check a Quantum Field Theory book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 3527406018 | | Best Sellers Rank | 251,641 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 987 in Popular Science Physics 10,998 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (245) | | Dimensions | 16.81 x 2.77 x 24.43 cm | | Edition | 2nd, Revised | | ISBN-10 | 9783527406012 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3527406012 | | Item weight | 896 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | 16 Aug. 2008 | | Publisher | Wiley-VCH | ## Images ![Introduction to Elementary Particles, 2nd, Revised Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615v3AdGyvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book!

I would highly recommend it. It is quite a nice style to read (think NOT Bourbaki!). I read this alongside the Manchester Series High Energy Physics book, but honestly I think one is better off sticking with Griffiths, I personally found the Manchester to be a bad book with very little content. ## Frequently Bought Together - Introduction to Elementary Particles - Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - Introduction to Electrodynamics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/62827327-introduction-to-elementary-particles-2nd-revised-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/62827327-introduction-to-elementary-particles-2nd-revised-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-29*
