โฆ Synopsis
The second edition of Non-Perturbative Methods in Two-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory is an extensively revised version, involving major changes and additions. Although much of the material is special to two dimensions, the techniques used should prove helpful also in the development of techniques applicable in higher dimensions. In particular, the last three chapters of the book will be of direct interest to researchers wanting to work in the field of conformal field theory and strings.
This book is intended for students working for their PhD degree and post-doctoral researchers wishing to acquaint themselves with the non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theory.

This book is a quite complete review of two dimensional models, from the Thirring model to Conformal theories, passing by QED2 and QCD2...It can be a useful tool if you already know something about the two dimensions: the authors are sometimes not clear and make involved what is simple.
