{"product_id":"9781139636148","title":"The Quantum Theory of Fields: Volume 1, Foundations","description":"Available for the first time in paperback, The Quantum Theory of Fields is a self-contained, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction to quantum field theory from Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg. Volume I introduces the foundations of quantum field theory. The development is fresh and logical throughout, with each step carefully motivated by what has gone before. After a brief historical outline, the book begins with the principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, and the properties of particles that follow. Quantum field theory emerges from this as a natural consequence. The classic calculations of quantum electrodynamics are presented in a thoroughly modern way, showing the use of path integrals and dimensional regularization. It contains much original material, and is peppered with examples and insights drawn from the author's experience as a leader of elementary particle research. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120967696624,"sku":"9781139636148","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139636148_p0.jpg?v=1763700408","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139636148","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
