About this title: An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory is a textbook intended for the graduate physics course covering relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and Feynman diagrams. The authors make these subjects accessible through carefully worked examples illustrating the technical aspects of the subject, and intuitive explanations of what is going on behind the mathematics. After presenting the basics of quantum electrodynamics, the authors discuss the theory of renormalization and its relation to statistical mechanics, and introduce the renormalization group. This discussion sets the ...

"I think anybody who considers having a carrier in physics in his future life, should have some taste of QFT. This book, has been one of the most popular texts in the field. Nevertheless, I do not recommend it to beginners, unless to somebody with really masochistic temper for the subject. Reading this book has been a mixture of pain and joy to me, as I am sure many others have had the same feelings through this experience. And a note of caution: I don't think one can gain all he needs about QFT from this single volume. There are many other good texts from which one can benefit, like books written by Weinberg, Bjorken & Drell, Siegel, and some simpler ones like those by Mandl & Schaw and J.J. Sakurai."
