An unsolicited opinion : “If you have ever wanted an explicit answer to the question, ‘What, exactly, is a Calabi-Yau manifold?’, this is the book you are looking for. Clear, far-ranging and full of brilliant insight, it is also a stylistic masterpiece, which is rare among math and physics books.” (rick1138, 11-04-2003, 11:39 PM; from www.physicsforums.com archive).

Afterword by Yang-Hui He
Fundamentalna fizika elementarnih čestica
(Fundamental Physics of Elementary Particles, in Serbian)
(Prirodno-mathematički fakultet, Departman za fiziku, Novi Sad, 2011) [ ispravke ]

Advanced Concepts in Particle and Field Theory
(Cambridge University Press, July 31, 2015, harcover) [ CUP ] [ A ] [ B ] [ errata ] [ FAQ ]
→ reissued (2022) as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core [@inSPIREhep ↯]

Adapted from the Publisher’s web-site: Uniting particle physics and quantum field theory with gravity and general relativity, this textbook of fundamental and theoretical physics describes the quest to consolidate the basic building blocks of nature. Designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students it provides a conceptually unified and logically consistent understanding of all matter at the fundamental level through worked examples, detailed derivations, as well as historical, philosophical and methodological commentary.
“If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it.” —Aristotle
