Learning about particles - 50 privileged years

(preliminary): Embedded in an autobiographic framework, this book retraces vividly and in some depth the golden years of particle physics as witnessed by one of the scientiest who made decisive contributions to the understanding of what is now known as the Standard Model of particle physics (...) Last but not least, this book is a must for all students and young researchers who have learned about the theoretical and experimental facts that make up the standard model through textbooks and would like to get a first hand account of the often multilayered and sinous development that finally led to the present architecture of this theory.
