' No other book offers a complete, exhaustive and authoritative description of the electroweak theory predictions for p[recision tests.All calculations are described in detail and the results are reported explicitly...the expostion is clear and only a basic knowledge of quantum field theory is assumed.Thus, the book qualifies as a complete reference handbook for this domain of contemporary physics. Those interested in the overall physical picture and the main implications of precision tests can find more-readable reviews elsewhere.However this work will be invaluable for professional theorists looking for state-of-the-art reviews' CERN Courier
