Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Quantum electrodynamics ? or QED, for short ? is the revolutionary theory that explains how light and electrons interact. Thanks to Richard Feynman and his colleagues, who won the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in this area, it is also one of the rare parts of physics that is known for sure, a theory that has stood the test of time. In these entertaining and witty lectures Feynman uses everyday examples to explain the deepest and most complex mysteries of the world around us, in the definitive introduction to QED.

Review:

"Feynman's lectures must have been marvellous and they have been turned into an equally entrancing book, a vivid introduction to QED which is leavened and enlivened by his wit. Anyone with a curiosity about physics today should buy it, not only to get to grips with the deepest meaning of quantum theory but to possess a slice of history." Pedro Waloschek, Nature

Synopsis:

Based on a series of lectures delivered to the general public at the University of California, the author wittily explains the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the central aspect of much of modern physics.
