Product Details
From the Preface: "These lectures span fourteen years, from 1966 to 1979. This was a great time to be a high-energy theorist, the period of the famous triumph of quantum field theory. And what a triumph it was, in the old sense of the word: a glorious victory parade, full of wonderful things brought back from far places to make the spectator gasp with awe and laugh with joy. I hope some of that awe has been captured here." — Sidney Coleman, Author. (Note: Professor Coleman passed away on November 18, 2007.)
