Review:

'Lee's lectures set a towering standard of excellence...this volume will serve superbly as a comprehensive course in elementary particle physics...pages are filled with his unique insights, pedagogical clarity and thoroughness. This book is a treasure.'.
–Nature

'Professor Lee is one of a handful of physicists whose discoveries, notably parity violation, will endure. A major work by such a man merits the attention of any serious student on the subject...'.
–The Times Higher Education Supplement

'With its authoritative, and lucid presentation of the whole gamut of modern particle physics, this book will serve as an indispensable reference for researchers in particle physics.'.
–Physics Today
