Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell by Anthony Zee

Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell by Anthony Zee

Covers the advances in the field while providing a conceptual foundation for students to build on quantum field theory available. This title includes exercises, explanations, and examples, as well as detailed appendices, solutions to selected exercises, and suggestions for further reading.

"Every theoretical physicist and every university library should own this book"--Choice "This is quantum field theory taught at the knee of ... one who loves the grandeur of his subject, has a keen eye for a slick argument, and is eager to share his repertoire of anecdotes about Feynman, Fermi, and all of his heroes... Zee misses no opportunity to point out that an argument he gives opens the door to some deeper subject that he encourages the reader to explore... [Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell] helps them love the subject and race to its frontier."--Michael E. Peskin, Classical and Quantum Gravity "[T]his is an excellent and unique introduction to quantum field theory. It takes a lot of work, and capable but less confident students would need a great deal of guidance, but it is a beautiful text written with infectious enthusiasm, and I thoroughly recommend it."--S. Virmani, Contemporary Physics "[This] is an excellent invitation to the wide area of modern quantum field theory, and even provides the mature field theoretician with interesting insights and connections. To the curious student, it is a near-perfect companion to spice up the world of quantum field theory, especially particle physics, beyond the standard presentations... It is definitely highly recommendable to anyone who wants to have a book with a non-standard view on quantum field theory, or who just wants to have an entertaining and insightful reprise of the topic."--Axel Maas, Mathematical Reviews Clippings

A. Zee is professor of physics and a permanent member of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His books include "Fearful Symmetry: The Search for Beauty in Modern Physics" (Princeton).
