Martin Counihan · Physics Bulletin · 1983
Donald H Perkins 1982 London: Addison-Wesley xiv + 437 pp price £10.50 Although 'compounded from advanced texts, review articles, original papers, and particularly the proceedings of summer schools', this has been assembled masterfully into a book which is a pleasure to read, full of unusual insights and connections, and with a generous provision of exercises, their solutions, worked examples, references, specialised bibliographies, appendices and tables. All of subnuclear physics is covered, but with a proper bias towards the newest and most fashionable of topics such as quarks and leptons, grand unification, and proton instability.
