Book Book recommendation Energy High energy Nuclear Particle Particle physics Physics Recommendation

In summary, some recommended books for learning about High Energy, Nuclear, and Particle Physics are "Introduction to High Energy Physics" by Donald H. Perkins, "Introduction to Elementary Particles" by David Griffiths, and "Nuclear and Particle Physics: An Introduction" by Brian R. Martin and Graham Shaw. There are also textbooks specifically designed for beginners in this field, such as "Elementary Particle Physics: Concepts and Phenomena" by Francis Halzen and Alan D. Martin and "Particle Physics: A Very Short Introduction" by Frank Close. For those interested in the experimental aspects, "Experimental Techniques in High-Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics" by Thomas Ferbel and "Introduction to Experimental Particle Physics" by Richard Fernow are

I am doing bachelors in Engineering Sciences. So I know Maths but on the physics front I have not studied any single course related to particle physics. Just the beginners courses for engineers like mechanics
