D. H. Perkins is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford.
`Review from previous edition One attractive feature of Perkins'
book is that each chapter ends with a concise summary of its most
important items. Perkins writes exceptionally clearly and includes
a significant number of worked examples, making this an ideal
textbook for use in a junior or senior course that introduces
particle theory and cosmology and their strong
interrelationship.
