The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics by Robert Oerter

4.0

Oerter takes upon himself a grand task of making the Standard Model more understandable for general public. I think he is successful in this undertaking.

The book is written in a clear language with an avoidance of jargon, which makes it accessible. Even though I was familiar with majority of ideas presented, the amount of information contained in this book, particularly regarding particle decays, is sometimes overwhelming.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in modern physics. There is much to be learned from it.
