The approach to quantum field theory in this book is part way between building a mathematical model of the subject and presenting the mathematics that physicists actually use. It starts with the need to combine special relativity and quantum mechanics and culminates in a basic understanding of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions. The book is divided into five parts: 1. Canonical quantization of scalar fields; 2. Weyl, Dirac and vector fields; 3. Functional integral quantization; 4. The standard model of the electroweak and strong interactions; 5. Renormalization. This should be a useful reference for anybody with interests in quantum theory and related areas of function theory, functional analysis, differential geometry or topological invariant theory.

Ticciati's approach to quantum field theory falls between building a mathematical model of the subject and presenting the mathematics that physicists actually use. It begins with the need to combine special relativity and quantum mechanics and culminates in a basic understanding of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions. The book is divided into five parts: canonical quantization of scalar fields, Weyl, Dirac and vector fields, functional integral quantization, the standard model of the electroweak and strong interactions, renormalization. This should be a useful reference for those interested in quantum theory and related areas of function theory, functional analysis, differential geometry or topological invariant theory.

Richard Jones's production of Benjamin Britten's most popular opera takes to the stage at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. John Graham-Hall stars as the eponymous, impetuous fisherman in this mysterious tale set in a small fishing village on England's east coast in the 19th century. Robin Ticciati, principal conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, takes the helm in his La Scala opera debut.

Robin Ticciati conducts the Age of Enlightenment Orchestra in this production of Mozart's work, recorded at Glyndebourne in October 2015. Among the cast are Sally Matthews, Edgaras Montvidas, Tobias Kehrer and Mari Eriksmoen.

This title examines the impact of this potentially dangerous technology on food sources, animals, and our own bodies.
