Recenzii
'This
is
an
excellent
graduate-level
relativistic
quantum
field
theory
text,
covering
an
impressive
amount
of
material
often
with
a
very
novel
presentation.
It
would
be
ideal
either
for
courses
on
relativistic
quantum
field
theory
or
for
courses
on
the
Standard
Model
of
elementary
particle
interactions.
The
book
provides
interesting
insights
and
covers
many
modern
topics
not
usually
presented
in
current
texts
such
as
spinor-helicity
methods
and
on-shell
recursion
relations,
heavy
quark
effective
theory
and
soft-collinear
effective
field
theory.
It
is
nice
to
see
the
modern
point
of
view
on
the
predictive
power
of
non-renormalizable
theories
discussed.
Once
in
a
generation
particle
physicists
elevate
a
quantum
field
theory
text
to
the
rank
of
classic.
Two
such
classics
are
the
texts
by
Bjorken
and
Drell
and
Peskin
and
Schroeder;
it
wouldn't
surprise
me
if
this
new
book
by
Schwartz
joins
this
illustrious
group.'

'A wonderful tour of quantum field theory from the modern perspective, filled with insights on both the conceptual underpinnings and the concrete, elegant calculational tools of the subject.' Nima Arkani-Hamed, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
'Schwartz has produced a new and valuable introduction to quantum field theory. He has rethought the whole presentation of the subject, from the introductory and foundational concepts to new developments such as effective field theory descriptions of quark dynamics. Students will enjoy viewing quantum field theory from his perspective.' Michael E. Peskin, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University
'Schwartz's book grew out of a popular year long course in quantum field theory at Harvard. Designed primarily for graduate students, this course also attracts and inspires a number of undergraduates each year. The book is unique in its combination of breadth, depth and readability. Schwartz starts at the beginning of the subject and brings us right up to the present. That the book is neither superficial nor impossibly dense is rather remarkable and makes it easy to understand the course's success.' Howard Georgi, Harvard University
'In this book, Schwartz gives a thoughtful and modern treatment of many classical and contemporary topics. Students and experienced researchers will find much here of value.' Edward Witten, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
'Every single one of these pages is packed with information. … this book grew out of lectures Schwartz has given to graduate students at Harvard, and it becomes very clear that he is well aware of possible pitfalls and problems of understanding that students may have. … The first part of the book should be accessible for beginning graduate students who have mastered quantum mechanics, special relativity and electrodynamics. The second part of the book will also be useful for advanced students and researchers who want to learn how to perform calculations in the standard model. … Schwartz has done a great job in presenting his view on this complex matter, and I wish this book had already existed when I learned the subject! I recommend it to anyone dedicated to learning quantum field theory and the physics of the standard model.' Thomas Peters, Contemporary Physics
