Our colleague José Valle, together with Jorge Romão, from Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, has published a new textbook on Wiley & Sons about open topics in neutrino physics and their interest for both high energy physics and astrophysics. Within its pages the authors consider fundamental aspects, like the subtleties of the quantisation of a Majorana fermion, and they discuss how those subtleties give rise to observable phenomena of deep theoretical relevance. They also devote a long discussion to neutrino masses and their relation to the rest of the Standard Model and particularly the Higgs field, which is about to be studied thoroughly in the coming years at the LHC. Finally they analyse what we can learn from neutrinos about the many theoretical candidates that are currently under consideration: supersymmetry, grand unified models and flavour symmetries are carefully discussed, and for each of them we find the role to be played by the netrinos and what sort of phenomena are to be expected. The book, mainly oriented to particle physicists, includes a discussion about the importance of neutrinos in cosmology and about the astrophysical scenarios in which they play a prominent role.
