Philip G Ratcliffe 
An Introduction to Elementary Particle Phenomenology [EPUB ebook] 

This book deals with the development of particle physics, in particular an area that has now become known as phenomenology. The author presents a solid and clear motivation for the developments witnessed by the particle physics community at both high and low energies over that last 50 or 60 years. Including exercises and references to original experimental and theoretical papers, as well as other useful sources, it will be essential reading for all students and researchers in modern particle physics.
