This book gives an intermediate level treatment of quantum field
theory, appropriate to a reader with a first degree in physics and
a working knowledge of special relativity and quantum mechanics. It
aims to give the reader some understanding of what QFT is all
about, without delving deep into actual calculations of Feynman
diagrams or similar. The author serves up a seven-course menu,
which begins with a brief introductory Aperitif. This is followed
by the Hors d'oeuvres, which set the scene with a broad survey of
the Universe, its theoretical description, and how the ideas of QFT
developed during the last century. In the next course, the Art of
Cooking, the author recaps on some basic facts of analytical
mechanics, relativity, quantum mechanics and also presents some
nutritious "extras" in mathematics (group theory at the elementary
level) and in physics (theory of scattering). After these
preparations, the reader should have a good appetite for the
Entrees - the central par t of the book where the Standard Model is
described and explained. After Trou Normand, the restive pause
including human stories about physicists and no formulas, the
author serves the Dessert, devoted to supersymmetry (a very
beautiful theory that is still awaiting a direct experimental
confirmation), to general relativity and to the mystery of quantum
gravity.
