The material contained in this work concerns relativistic quantum
mechanics, and as such pertains to classical fields. On the one
hand it is meant to serve as a text on the subject, a desire
stemming from the author's fruitless searches for an adequate,
up-to-date reference when lecturing on these topics. At times the
supplementary material was found to exceed by far that in the
assigned text. On the other hand, there is some flavor of a
monograph to what follows, most particularly in the later chapters,
for a major goal is to demonstrate just how far we can advance our
understanding of the behavior of stable particles and their
interactions without introducing quantized fields. Those wishing to
describe the world in this way may view the result as a point of
departure, despite the fact that their wish remains unfulfilled.
Confirmed quantum-field theorists, however, will doubtless view it
as a summary of just why they feel compelled to quantize the
fields. Approximately half the book is devoted to the
single-particle Dirac equation and its solutions. A great deal of
detail is provided in this respect, and the discus sion is
reasonably comprehensive. The Dirac equation is extraordinarily
important in its own right, particularly as a basis for quantum
electrodynamics (QED), and is thus worthy of extensive study."
