Supersymmetry, Supergravity, and Unification
«'It is a comprehensive review of the subject for advanced graduate students. The book provides a broad overview of the field with detailed background information on group theory, field theory and notation. It covers everything from the Standard Model to supersymmetry, grand unification, supergravity and cosmology, including detailed phenomenological calculations and problems. It also introduces the extension of these theories to extra dimensions and string theory. It should be a useful tool for every student who wishes to learn this material.' Stuart Raby, Ohio State University, Columbus»
This unique book gives a modern account of particle physics and gravity based on supersymmetry and supergravity, two of the most significant developments in theoretical physics since general relativity. Les mer

«'This book provides a clear, pedagogical and thorough treatment of supersymmetry, supergravity and applications in the context of unification. … All in all, this is an excellent book on applications of supersymmetry and supergravity in the context of unification. Students and researchers with some working knowledge of general relativity, quantum field theory and related mathematical concepts could benefit from this book. As a final comment, the book contains a large number of exercises, a student favorite.' Parinya Karndumri, Mathematical Reviews»
«'The book can be considered as a valuable and updated addition to Steven Weinberg's third volume on supersymmetry in The Quantum Theory of Fields series (2000, Cambridge University Press). The author is a world expert on supersymmetry and supergravity phenomenology, who has contributed to the field with many original and outstanding works. Certainly useful to graduate students in physics, the book could also prove to be a resource for advanced graduate courses in experimental high-energy physics.' Sergio Ferrara, CERN Courier»
