Description
Award-winning physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman presents a classic and definitive introduction to quantum electrodynamics (QED), that part of quantum field theory that describes the interactions of light with charged particles. Using spatial concepts, visualizations, everyday language, and his renowned Feynman diagrams rather than advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zees introduction places Feynman’s book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman’s uniquely appealing and illuminating style.
