Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible

by A. Zee

Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible is by Anthony Zee, a professor of theoretical physics at the Kavli Institute at UC Santa Barbara. Zee wrote a quantum field theory textbook in 2003, this book is “between a textbook and a popular book as traditionally understood.” To understand quantum field theory, you have to understand special relativity and quantum mechanics, so he takes the reader through those quickly first.
