This second edition is a revised and updated version of the original comprehensive text on nuclear and subnuclear physics, first published in 1995. It maintains the original goal of providing for graduate students a clear, logical, in-depth and unifying treatment of modern nuclear theory, ranging from the non-relativistic many-body problem to the Standard Model of the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions. Researchers will also benefit from the updates on developments and the bibliography. This edition incorporates new chapters on the theoretical and experimental advances made in nuclear and subnuclear physics in the past decade.
