量子场论 第1卷 英文版
作者： Steven Weinberg 著
出版时间： 2004年版
内容简介
In The Quantum Theory of Fields Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg com-bines his exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition to provide a self-contained， comprehensive， and up-to-date introduction to quantum field theory.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， and emphasizing the reasons why such a theory should describe nature. After a brief historical outline， the book begins anew with the principles about which we are most certain， relativity and quantum mechanics， and the properties of particles that follow from these principles. Quantum field theory then emerges from this as a natural consequence. 此书为英文版！
