From the reviews: "The book under review gives a very good introduction into chiral perturbation theory. ... The book is very pedagogical and can read by students and researchers interested in the topic. ... The book does not only contain many exercises, but also the solutions to them. After reading and working through the book one will have no problems in understanding the current research topics in chiral perturbation theory." (Stefan Weinzierl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1232, 2012)
