Reviews

'I have previously found no texts which give a clear and full exposition of the calculation of the electrodynamic cross-sections using tools generated in this field, so I had to develop my own. However, this text describes in reasonable detail these calculations for many of the two-body leptonic interactions. Since such calculations are the ultimate goal of this subject, their inclusion is, in my opinion, highly commendable. ... The questions and exercises in the book are relevant and instructive and a valuable asset to a lecturer or student in this field. ... I would recommend this book highly as a course text. ... It would certainly be useful to anyone familiar with the field who would value a reference and compendium of the arguments and formalism.' The Observatory
