Synthesizes the most promising approaches and ideals in field theory today. Topics discussed include statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and their interrelation, continuous global symmetry, non-Abelian guage fields, and quantum strings and random surfaces.

This book focuses on field theory and it covers subjects such as statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and their interrelation, continuous global symmetry, non-Abelian gauge fields, instantons and the quantum theory of loops, and quantum strings and random surfaces.
