QED - A Strange Theory of Light and Matter

American physicist Richard Feynman – one of the creators of the atomic bomb, a specialist in quantum electrodynamics, a Nobel laureate, but, above all, – an extraordinary multifaceted personality, not fitting into the usual framework of the image of a "man of science". A magnificent speaker, he turned each of his lectures into an exciting intellectual game. His talks attracted not only students and colleagues but also people simply fascinated by physics.
The basis of this book consists of the famous lectures by Richard Feynman, delivered at the University of California.
In these lectures, the celebrated physicist talks about quantum electrodynamics, – a theory in the creation of which he himself participated, – in a simple and accessible language understandable even to the ordinary reader.
It is no wonder that even about the very first, Princeton edition of "QED," critics wrote: "A book that fully conveys the captivating and witty style of Feynman, making quantum electrodynamics not only understandable but also entertaining!"
