A fully updated edition of the classic text by acclaimed physicist A.
Zee
Since it was first published, Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell has
quickly established itself as the most accessible and comprehensive
introduction to this profound and deeply fascinating area of theoretical
physics. Now in this fully revised and expanded edition, A. Zee covers
the latest advances while providing a solid conceptual foundation for
students to build on, making this the most up-to-date and modern
textbook on quantum field theory available.
This expanded edition features several additional chapters, as well as
an entirely new section describing recent developments in quantum field
theory such as gravitational waves, the helicity spinor formalism,
on-shell gluon scattering, recursion relations for amplitudes with
complex momenta, and the hidden connection between Yang-Mills theory and
Einstein gravity. Zee also provides added exercises, explanations, and
examples, as well as detailed appendices, solutions to selected
exercises, and suggestions for further reading.
