The courses which comprise this book were designed to give the student a broad perspective on modern quantum field theory. Among the topics covered are: - an account of the quantum theory of the Yang-Mills field, anomalies, monopoles and o-vacua; - an exposition of background field and Green's function techniques applied to conservation laws, functional integration, curved backgrounds, nontrivial topologies and the effective action; - a description of supergravity and Kaluza-Klein theories; - supermanifolds, super Lie groups and super Hilbert spaces and theory of the topological and global aspects of quantum theory; - proofs of the positive energy theorems, and - accounts and analysis of episodes in the history of theoretical physics and quantum field theory.

Part 1 - 1. Mathematics and physics since 1800 (Discord and sympathy) (R. Jost). 2. Some chapters for a history of quantum field theory 1938-1952 (S.S. Schweber). 3. Topological investigations of quantized gauge theories (R. Jackiw). 4. Quantum cosmology (S.W. Hawking). Part 2 - 5. The spacetime approach to quantum field theory (B. De Witt). 6. Positive-energy theorems (Y. Choquet-Bruhat). Part 3 - 7. Lectures on the renormalization of gauge theories (C. Becchi). 8. An introduction to simple supergravity and the Kaluza-Klein program (P. van Nieuwenhuizen). 9. The group manifold approach to unified gravity (T. Regge). 10. Remarks on infinite dimensional Lie groups (J. Milnor). 11. Topological and global aspects of quantum theory (C.J. Isham). 12. Chiral anomalies and differential geometry (B. Zumino).
