Description: - Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction - Michio Kaku - 1993 Oxford University Press 1st Edition - VERY GOOD / GOOD CONDITION! 9.56 x 1.66 x 6.5 inches, 785 Pages, Pictorial Paper Over Boards / Case Bound Hardcover, Oxford University press 1993 1st Edition, Very Good / Good Condition! The rise of quantum electrodynamics (QED) made possible a number of excellent textbooks on quantum field theory in the 1960s. However, the rise of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the Standard Model has made it urgent to have a fully modern textbook for the 1990s and beyond. Building on the foundation of QED, Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction presents a clear and comprehensive discussion of the gauge revolution and the theoretical and experimental evidence which makes the Standard Model the leading theory of subatomic phenomena. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Fields and Re-normalization, lays a solid foundation by presenting canonical quantization, Feynman rules and scattering matrices, and re-normalization theory. Part II, Gauge Theory and the Standard Model, focuses on the Standard Model and discusses path integrals, gauge theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, the re-normalization group, and BPHZ quantization. Part III, Non-perturbative Methods and Unification, discusses more advanced methods which now form an essential part of field theory, such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, instantons, supersymmetry, quantum gravity,supergravity, and superstrings. Condition is "Very Good". Very Good Condition with hints of shelf / storage wear to cover edges / corners and slight tanning to white cover at spine. Very, very mild spotting / foxing to inside covers and end papers, mild / minimal tanning to fore edge and leading edge of text block. Overall a very solid, structurally sound text with crisp, clear text blocks, illustrations and details. Ships USPS Media Mail.
