Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This monograph presents thirty research papers dealing with the classification of strongly interacting particles and their interaction according to the eightfold way. In each chapter the authors' commentary introduces the reprints.

Read and cited by scientists worldwide, Advanced Book Classics are works that continue to inform today's groundbreaking research efforts. Redesigned and newly released in paperback, these graduate-level texts and monographs are now available to an even wider audience. Written by the most influential physicists of the twentieth century, these Advanced Book Classics promise to enrich and inspire a new generation of physicists.

About the Author
Murray Gell-Mann, Professor and Co-Chairman of the Science Board of the Santa Fe Institute, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969 for his work on the theory of elementary particles.

Yuval Ne'eman is Professor of Physics at the Sackler Institute of Advanced Studies at Tel Aviv University.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Universe in 8ths, March 31, 2001
By Joseph Garro (Dana Point, CA) - See all my reviews
Particle Physics from one of only a handful whom understand them. Murray Gell-Mann does an excellent job of describing the very physics in which he pioneered; this is a most read for any physicist.
