Modern particle physics explained intuitively, with a good mix of calculations from first principles, phenomenological and experimental insights (including recent results) and engaging problems. The author takes care to introduce the  accessible aspects of modern phenomenological and experimental side of this field to the reader, both in the text and through the problems, in a way that previous introductory particle physics texts have not. While the text is aimed at (advanced) undergraduates, it offers original and subtle insights that would be enlightening even to many advanced graduate students.
