Quantum Field Theory and Critical Phenomena
Résumé
Review from previous edition: "This excellent book offers a systematic presentation of the quantum field theory approach in describing all fundamental interactions in particle physics and the second order phase transition in statistical mechanics" Giuseppe Mussardo, Mathematical Reviews "...a remarkable achievement..." I. D. Lawrie, Contemporary Physics "This excellent book is surely destined to become a valuable and standard work of reference." Lewis Ryder, Times Higher Educational Supplement
