AI Thread Summary
For those interested in learning about the standard model and particles, a recommended starting point is Griffith's "Introduction to Particle Physics." This book is considered relatively basic but still requires a solid understanding of upper division quantum mechanics. It serves as a good foundation for readers with some college physics background looking to delve deeper into particle physics concepts.

I'm interested in learning about standard model, and particles. What's a good book to learn from? I have taken some college physics classes.
Thanks!

This depends on your exact level of knowledge in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. A relatively basic book is Griffith's Introduction to Particle Physics.
 
Note that "relatively basic" books in particle physics still assumes that one has taken at least an upper division sequence in quantum mechanics.
