内容概要

This book has its origin in a long series of lectures given at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Warsaw University. It is addressed to graduate students and to young research workers in theoretical physics who have some knowledge of quantum field theory in its canonical formulation, for instance at the level of two volumes by Bjorken & Drell (1964, 1965). The book is intended to be a relatively concise reference to some of the field theoretical tools used in contemporary research in the theory of fundamental interactions. It is a technical book and not easy reading. Physical problems are discussed only as illustrations of certain theoretical ideas and of computational methods. No attempt has been made to review systematically the present status of the theory of fundamental interactions.

•   制止不错，内容可以，字大小刚好
•   风格独特，值得阅读
•   优秀的书，值得拥有
•   真是难
•   世圖使用劣質紙張降低成本，因爲它知道這樣的書肯定有人會買～～～奸。
•   经典书, 世图用的纸质量太差!
•   用路径积分处理规范场论的难得佳作，风格十分独特，对实验也有一定的关注，前面大半本处理风格彪悍，令人耳目一新，后面则略显粗糙，提倡准备一本Peskin的QFT和找一本2000年后出版的标准模型和粒子物理的书时刻参详才能有很大收获。
•   很好，这样的书不多
