This well-known introductory textbook gives a uniform presentation of nuclear
and particle physics from an experimental point of view. The first part,
Analysis, is devoted to disentangling the substructure of matter. This part
shows that experiments designed to uncover the substructures of nuclei and
nucleons have a similar conceptual basis, and lead to the present picture of all
matter being constructed from a small number of elementary building blocks and a
small number of fundamental interactions.

The second part, Synthesis, shows how the elementary particles may be combined
to build hadrons and nuclei. The fundamental interactions, which are responsible
for the forces in all systems, become less and less evident in increasingly
complex systems. Such systems are in fact dominated by many-body phenomena. A
section on neutrino oscillations and one on nuclear matter at high temperatures
bridge the field of "nuclear and particle physics" and "modern astrophysics and
cosmology".

The fourth edition includes new developments, in particular a new section on the
double beta decay including a discussion of the possibility for a neutrinoless
decay and its implications for the standard model. The concise text is based on
lectures held at the University of Heidelberg. It has been translated into many
languages and has become a standard reference for advanced undergraduate and
graduate courses and includes numerous exercises with worked answers.
