Description

I bought this book after I visited a website about quantum field theory. One recommendation of this website was this book. It was mentioned that the author is one of the authorities in physics teaching. This encouraged me to buy it. After reading this book I found it in the same trend of bad books that I have bought so far from amazon.com. There are a lot of equations which are not linked to each other. The author leaves the work of deriving the formulas to the reader. In addition it is written in a complex way that is not understandable by the reader. What he writes in words is more uderstandable than what he writes in mathematical formulas.This is probably a general trend for writing scientific books in the western world. In summary, if you are looking for a book the derives the equations explicitly and uses alot of phenomenology so this is not the book to buy. If you are already familiar with the subject thoroughly and need only a review so you can buy it. I personally do not recommend it for students who want to study the subject
