Glossy medium blue wrappers with Title lettering in white across top half front cover, just above Author names in light yellow, smaller lettering. Only flaws are faded spine (to green from blue, all lettering in white and yellow eminently readable); and two horizontal partial (lesser fading) bands across top right rear cover and bottom left front cover (1/4" x 3 1/2" and 1/2"x 3 1/2", respectively, but quickly blending into original blue): describes much worse than it is, but there you have. Tight binding (NO cracks); sharp corners, but for hint of micro curls at tips only); NO rubbing wear; NO remainder marks; NO previous owner names. Clean text. Essentially, but for cosmetics, an As New, UNREAD volume. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002983

The reader will find a concise review of diagrammatic pertubation theory, path-integral quantization, group theory, and renormalization theory. The more advanced concepts - gauge symmetry, chiral symmetry breaking, the Higgs mechanism, asymptotic freedom and the renormalization group - are treated in greater detail. The exposition of these subjects is judiciously combined with applications to the standard theory in a way that brings life to what otherwise might be dull formalism. [...] it will remain, for a long time to come, an excellent introduction to the comprehensive gauge theory of the electroweak and strong interactions. (David Goss, Physics Today)
