Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction

This book by Michio Kaku, is probably the best book I could find on Quantum world, but such is as I was looking for. I believe that theory is only as good as its intentions; since I didn't grow up in the same day as my great great grandparents, and I grew up being friends mostly with foreigners, I learned that . I do not claim to understand the intentions of these inventions, it is to me a tool that has so many little simple parts, an average person like myself would most probably spend years of on and off reading to find an application for it and flesh it out. Dreams and visions help more than this book, but Michios works are practically foundational for todays works in "future" technologies. Remember to use your technology for it's "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.", (Jesus Christ the Lord) so that your works be not in vain. And also remember what King Solomon said "All advancement is vanity." But also that "Desire is a fountain (spring) of life." (King Solomon) Noah, the builder of the Ark, in ancient times took a hundred years to build his successful craft, would good works of large size and good quality also take us so long? I'd guess yes and no. Today there are more believers than there were then, but we have violent lands which are the biggest hold back other than our "wait for goodness rather than advancement". As an Italian saying, "Good food takes time." And remember Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park I -- "Life finds a way." the chaotician: so there you have it. If I could improve one thing of this work, I would make it pdf or text so that I could read it on my digital reader and not boast too much of it while I am in coffee shops or retail book stores.

The book is exactly as it was described! (delivered earlier than expected too)

The scope of the book is nice. The book is much larger than it had to be. Much of the pages are white space. Often there's formulas, but the variables aren't defined clearly. (I.e. woud be nice if It were R_ab is an static defined element of a foch space element with units srt(freq)) What it lacks in general clarity it does make up for in terms of having a much bigger picture of how the elements are connected in QFT which most other volumes don't have. I think using it with conjunction to the schwartz -QFT and SD, the 3 weinberg volumes, and princeton deligne/Witten QFT for mathematicians helps a lot. I didn't have the binding rip apart about 2/3rd through reading throught it.

if you are a scientist its ok. otherwise get your msc first to fully understand it. i thought i am clever enough. apparently not.

Happy :)

This must be the worst book ever written on Quantum Field Theory I have ever come accross, you simply cannot get anything useful out of this book, I once tried to go through it but it is so messy and explains so bad that I gave up pretty soon. It is a horrible book do not buy it! You been warned, don 't say or complain you were not warned. Also it is ridiculous high priced I mean $125 USD with 54% discount!???? That means that this trash was on Amazon at some time at roughly $250 USD!

Interesting book. You will need a little Physics background to understand this text. It's a college text book, but interesting.

This is the best QFT book I've ever read.

Das Buch selbst brauche ich nicht zu beurteilen; es ist ein wissenschaftliches Werk und ich hätte es nicht bestellt, wenn ich es nicht hätte habe wollen. Anscheinend ist es aber schwierig zu beschaffen; eine Bestellung bei Amazon selbst musste ich wegen endloser Lieferverzögerungen stornieren. Zu allem Unglück wurde die Ersatzbestellung bei "EliteDigital" zwar postwendend versandt, ist aber nie eingetroffen. Dass "EliteDigital" unaufgefordert auf die verschwundene Sendung aufmerksam wurde, sich entschuldigt hat und sogleich ein Ersatzexemplar verschickt hat, verdient grosses Lob. Dieses Exemplar ist nun innert Wochenfrist eingetroffen, war vorbildlich verpackt und in einwandfreiem Zustand. Danke! Franz Wiederkehr

Geschenk für meinen Sohn der sich im Master Studium der technischen Physik befindet und dem dieses Buch von seinen Professoren empfohlen wurde. Laut TU Graz ein "Must Have".
