Deep Down Things and The Great Design
If you want to learn about standard model of particle physics and understand associated concepts including QED and QCD, Lie groups and gauge theory this popular book is down to the facts and non-speculative: it even barely mentions string theory.
Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics
I read it in succession to another similar great popular book that uses a bit more math but in addition lucidly explains special relativity that was only briefly touched in Deep Down Things book:
The Great Design: Particles, Fields, and Creation
I read both books last year and now I’m reading Roger Penrose’s book The Road to Reality and review it as soon as I finish.
