Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world,
Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent
for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman
provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely, quantum
electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the
interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language,
spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams"
instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously
communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A.
Zee's introduction places Feynman's book and his seminal contribution to
QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's uniquely
appealing and illuminating style.
