QED : the strange theory of light and matter Richard P Feynman:

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Princeton Penguin 1985Description: 158 p: 23cmISBN:
  • 9780140125054
DDC classification:
  • 530.143 FEY
Contents:
Introduction -- Photons : particles of light -- Electrons and their interactions -- Loose ends.
Summary: Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world, Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's new introduction places both Feynman's book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's uniquely appealing and illuminating style
