In particular, the phase diagram of strongly-coupled theories as function of the number of colors, flavors and matter representation, playing a fundamental role when trying to construct viable extensions of the standard model, are examined for SU(N) gauge theories with fermionic matter transforming according to arbitrary representations of the underlying gauge group. We will further discuss how the phase diagram can be used to construct unparticle models and then review Minimal Walking Technicolor (MWT) and other extensions, such as partially gauged and split technicolor. Eventually, the unification of the standard model gauge couplings will be revisited within technicolor extensions of the standard model. A number of appendices will help student and newcomers to the field reviewing some basic methods and provide them with useful details. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aPhenomenological theory (Physics) 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aPhenomenological theory (Physics) 676 $a539.7 676 $a539.7/2 676 $a539.721 700 $aSannino$b Francesco$01424577 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739448303321 996 $aDynamical Stabilization of the Fermi Scale$93553875 997 $aUNINA
