The Pakistani brothers, who were both students of Abdus Salam, wrote the first edition of their book in 1992, based on lectures given in various places. Aimed at senior undergraduates or graduate students, it provides a comprehensive account of particle physics. Having first been updated in 2000, this latest edition contains many revised chapters, in particular those that cover subjects such as heavy flavours, neutrinos physics, electroweak unification, supersymmetry and string theory. Another addition is a substantial number of new problems. This self-contained book covers basic concepts and recent developments, as well as overlaps between astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics.
