About this book
Reviews
"In the authors words: ‘This is a frankly idiosyncratic book.’ Although to some extent it is a general introduction to the basic problems of quantum electrodynamics (QED), this is given from a particular point of view. [...] The main point of view the author takes is that ‘fundamental objects of the theory are quantized fields. Particles play no role in its basic formulation’" (Mathematical Reviews 2002h)
