Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world Nobel laureate Richard
Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general
public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely quantum
electrodynamics) that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with
charged particles. Using everyday language spatial concepts visualizations and his renowned
Feynman diagrams instead of advanced mathematics Feynman clearly and humorously communicates
both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's introduction places Feynman's
book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's
uniquely appealing and illuminating style.
