4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book to learn Feynman diagrams,
By
This review is from: Field Theory : A Modern Primer (Frontiers in Physics Series, Vol 74) (Paperback)
A reader can learn how to compute the Green's functions and the scattering amplitudes using Feynman diagrams. The scalar Klein-Gordon field is used as a pedagogical example at the beginning. The philosophy of the path integral is used all over the book. However, the book does not emphasize the philosophy of the Wilson renormalization group and in this sense the primer is not modern. Nevertheless, Pierre Ramond is a pretty famous scientist and you can learn many things from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A grad student's viewpoint,
This review is from: Field Theory : A Modern Primer (Frontiers in Physics Series, Vol 74) (Paperback)
This book, unlike "standard" texts like Peskin & Schroeder, deals more with the formal aspects of field theory, and may not be so useful for the person interested in phenomenology. Wilsonian RG is missing too, but it's a great place for an introduction to gauge theory. The misprints can be annoying, but at the same time keep you on your toes. The presentation is somewhat terse, and to work through a page of this book can be equivalent to working through several pages of another book, say Peskin & Schroeder.
