While there are many good books in particle physics, very seldom if ever has a non-specialist comprehensive description of Quantum Field Theory has appeared. The intention of this short book is to offer a guided tour of that innermost topic of Theoretical Physics, in plain words and avoiding the mathematical apparatus.
While there are many good books in particle physics, very seldom if ever a non-specialist comprehensive description of Quantum Field Theory has appeared. The intention of this short book is to offer a guided tour of that innermost topic of Theoretical Physics, in plain words and avoiding the mathematical apparatus, but still describing its various facets up to the research frontier, with the aim to give a glimpse of what the human mind has been capable of imagining for dealing with the behavior of Nature at the most fundamental level.

Roberto Iengo is a professor at the PhD Graduate School SISSA (Trieste, Italy), now retired but still affiliated to the Theoretical Particle Physics group. He is author (also spelt as Jengo) of many scientific publications in various aspects of Quantum Field Theory and String Theory. He has taught for years a course in Quantum Field Theory for PhD students. He has also been Director of the SISSA Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Humanities and Science and of the Master in Science Communication.
