Most high-energy physicists would benefit from reading at least the first three chapters. It is a remarkable book.' Professor J. C. Taylor (University of Cambridge), Contemporary Physics, Volume 32, No. 3 1991 `.. this is an excellent account of the `helicity technique' for computing Feyman amplitudes.' `The clear writing and explanation, together with its role as a reference book for matrix elements make it a valuable addition to the phenomenologists library.'
