Howard Georgi's book on Lie algebras in particle phy

[Zorba]

Howard Georgi wrote a book called

"Lie Algebras In Particle Physics: from Isospin To Unified Theories (Frontiers in Physics)"

Are there any other books like this one - that covers the same stuff - except that uses a more mathematically formal tone? I know representation theory and some the theory of Lie algebras already, but I still find it a bit frustrating how vague he is at times with the definitions etc.

Thanks!

The recent book "Group Theory: A Physicist's Survey" by Ramond contains a lot of the same material.

Its contents can be seen at:

For a book on these subjects, with a more-or-less precise mathematical tone but still aimed at physicists, my favorite is http://books.google.com/books?id=B_...resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false". It is rather self-contained, but for people which don't know anything about Lie Algebras and representations theory it might feel slightly too dense.

And maybe a book that explains understandbly what goes on with SO(8) and this triality business...
