Famous for his deep knowledge of the natural world, which he presented in an intelligent and unique way, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also had an amazing gift for explaining difficult concepts to the general public.
In this book, Feynman offers us a classic and authoritative introduction to quantum electrodynamics, that is, the part of quantum field theory that describes the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, geometric concepts, visualizations, and the famous "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman conveys with clarity, pleasure, and spirited manner both the essence and the spirit of quantum electrodynamics to the uninitiated reader.
The new introduction by A. Zee in this definitive edition places the book and the author's seminal contribution to quantum electrodynamics in their historical context and emphasizes Feynman's uniquely attractive and enlightening writing style.
