Feynman’s bestselling introduction to the mind-blowing physics of QED—presented with humor not
mathematics 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 public. In this extraordinary book Feynman provides a lively and accessible
introduction to QED or quantum electrodynamics an area of quantum field theory that describes
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 the substance and spirit of QED to the nonscientist. With
an incisive introduction by A. Zee that places Feynman’s contribution to QED in historical
context and highlights Feynman’s uniquely appealing and illuminating style this Princeton
Science Library edition of QED makes Feynman’s legendary talks on quantum electrodynamics
available to a new generation of readers.
