Beschreibung

First Edition (1996) so stated. Near Fine in a Good+ DJ: The Book's binding is ever so slightly cocked but remains perfectly secure; else flawless; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a minor, unobtrusive imperfection only. The DJ shows considerable wear along the outside edge of the front panel with tears of one inch or less at each of the corners; and moderate wear to the lower outside edge of the front panel; a one inch tear - or crack - at the middle of the outside edge of the rear panel; ; mild rubbing overall to the panels; unclipped. Not unattractive, but shows some flaws. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Small 4to (10.25 x 7.35 x 1.25 inches) . Index. Language: English. Weight: 39.4 ounces. Blue boards with gilt titles at the front panel and backstrip. Hardcover with DJ. In this second volume of The Quantum Theory of Fields, available for the first time in paperback, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg continues his masterly expoistion of quantum theory. Volume 2 provides an up-to-date and self-contained account of the methods of quantum field theory, and how they have led to an understanding of the weak, strong, and electromagnetic interactions of the elementary particles. The presentation of modern mathematical methods is throughout interwoven with accounts of the problems of elementary particle physics and condensed matter physics to which they have been applied. This book has some of the most exquisite expositions on the theoretical aspects of quantum field theory that you are ever likely to run into, i. E. Weinberg's name is literally stamped on every page for brilliance. There are topics treated here that are not likely to be found anywhere else, for instance Batalin-Vilkovisky Quantization. Weinberg's treatment of the proof of renormalizability is compact and yet very readable. And his chapter on anomalies is simply speaking the authortiative treatment. This book is a must have for anyone interested in the more theoretical aspects of Field Theory. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xxvi, 609 pages.
