I read this textbook in one week. It is so easy and so accessible by two great physicists. It has made many things that were tough to me in my undergrad years hard so easy now. I loved this book.

I read it because I wanted to give a series of lectures on nuclear radiation for radiology and nuclear medicine professionals, and this book helped me (with so many things) towards that goal.

Please start with this book if you want a first go through the world of subatomic physics. It is just so good!

This book reads surprisingly well and has a lot of *VERY* useful charts and diagrams in it that can be very difficult to find elsewhere.

It's great for the basics, but some times the authors (Das and Ferbel - for some reason goodreads always has one author for textbooks) mention an interesting relationship or outcome but leave it up to you as an exercise. That's annoying when your professor assigns other book problems as well as his or her own. So you probably won't want to do any work you don't have to and will be left wondering what that interesting thing was.

You should know dirac (bra-ket) notation and some basic special relativity (such as time dilation) with this book. Also be prepared for some weird box math in the particle physics field. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there.

Highly recommended for young physicists , very smooth Explanation with a remarkable glance for each part , I tried lots of books when I started working in particle physics and I think that Das's book with Grifith will be a very powerful start in this field
