About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This is the second edition of the very successful book on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is part of an extensive series of textbooks by Greiner and co-authors. … The second edition is clearly an advance on the first and continues to be a very useful advanced textbook." (C.A Hurst, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 k)
"This book is a thorough introduction to the perturbative and nonperturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for advanced level graduate students in theoretical physics and scientists in high energy physics. It contains many worked-out exercises … . In conclusion, this book constitutes an excellent theoretical reference book, reflecting very well the present situation and problems in the field … ." (Laurent Favart, Physicalia, Vol. 25 (4), 2003)
From the reviews of the third edition:
"The book is well structured and delivers a self-contained introduction to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), while supplying the reader with ample information and references on how to enlarge his or her knowledge on specific topics. … Overall, the book exhibits all the hallmarks that make this series of textbooks so valuable to students and scientists … . The step-by-step exercises supply the reader with a most helpful tool to understand how to approach and devise a solution of a given problem in QCD." (Serban Misicu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1147, 2008)
