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 individual who does not fit into the usual 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 renowned physicist discusses quantum electrodynamics — a theory in which he himself played a part in its development — and does so in a simple and accessible language, understandable even to the average reader.
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 comprehensible but also entertaining!"
