For the third edition of this classic graduate textbook, first published in 1982, the authors have substantially enlarged the text to reflect developments both in university curricula and the field of particle physics. New introductory chapters have been added to give a historical account of the properties of quarks and leptons. Volume 2, covering the non-Abelian gauge theories of QCD and electroweak interactions, is scheduled for publication in 2003.
