Introduction to the 2006 edition / by A. Zee -- Foreword / by Leonard Mautner -- Preface / by Ralph Leighton -- Introduction -- Photons : particles of light -- Electrons and their interactions -- Loose ends -- Index.
Provides an introduction to QED (quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, the author communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson.
