The particle garden
Physics without math, that's what I'm about. And that's what this book offers. And although I learned some things through it, I felt that many things weren't explained well, were explained in a weird order, or were explained but didn't need explaining. Lastly, of course, this book is old and outdated.
Although this is not a bad book, I would recommend reading a different book - if a math-less particle physics book is out there.
