Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure.
Quantum electrodynamics - or QED for short - is the theory that explains how light and electrons interact, and in doing so illuminates the mysteries of the world around us. This book uses examples to provide the definitive introduction to QED.

'Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?" I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.' Richard P. Feynman
Analyzes the theoretical questions related to electron and photon interactions at high energies.
The Nobel Prize–winning physicist presents unique insights into his theory and its applications. Feynman starts with fundamentals and advances to the perturbation method, quantum electrodynamics, and statistical mechanics. 1965 edition, emended in 2005.
