Gap in the market for a book on the Standard Model

[Jehannum]

Summary:: Is there a primarily non-technical book covering all aspects of the Standard Model of particle physics?

The Standard Model comes up a lot in YouTube videos. There must be a decent amount of public interest.

I think there would be a market for a semi-technical but accessible for the interested audience book covering it.

Or does such a book already exist?

Tini Veltman? What does he know?

Hm, enough to share the 1999 Nobel prize in physics with this former PhD student G. 't Hooft...

Another possibility is "Deep Down Things: The Breathtaking Beauty of Particle Physics" by Bruce Schumm,

I am currently reading Deep Down Things, it is very interesting and would recommend it. Another good book is The Second Creation.

I went with this one. 55 pages in so far, and it's exactly what I was looking for.

So in reality, there is no gap.

I was sure I put a question mark in the original title.
