✦ Synopsis
The book provides material for a one-year course (three or four lecture hours a week) in quantum field theory. However, the text is split in a natural way into two parts. Part 1 deals with Lagrangian (canonical) field theory, including Feynman graph techniques and perturbation theory. Part 2 is concerned with more advanced and more modem topics, such as the various "axiomatic" approaches to the theory, general properties of collision amplitudes, and the fundamentals of dynamical calculations in hadron physics. Thus, Part 1 (which is complete in itself) can be used in an introductory course, and Part 2 in an advanced course (or special seminar), each course requiring one semester. (Particular chapters of Part 2 can also provide material for short seminars.) Part 2 refers only occasionally to Part 1 so that anyone familiar with elementary quantum field theory could use it independently of Part 1. Both parts are suitable for self-study.

This text aims to provide an introduction to the subject of quantum field theory without the complication of introducing its application areas such as elementary particle physics or statistical physics at the same time. It explains those features of quantum and statistical field systems that result
This book is a clear and comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory, one that develops the subject systematically from its beginnings. The book builds on calculation techniques toward an explanation of the physics of renormalization.
The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides in the power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find application in domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena. This book introduces the reader to t
