5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best textbooks on QFT
There are numerous textbooks in Quantum Field Theory. Most of them are very accurate and complete in describing the mathematical apparatus of QFT. Unfortunately, very few are the ones which explain the physics aspects of QFT in details. For a beginner (as well as for an "expert") the physics aspects of QFT are usually elusive and hard to understand. Schweber's textbook is...

very much out of date
this book dates back to 1961 ...if you want to buy an affordable dover published book which is much more current i recommend the Itzikson and Zuber QFT bookQuantum Field Theory (Dover Books on Physics)

This review is from: An Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Field Theory (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
There are numerous textbooks in Quantum Field Theory. Most of them are very accurate and complete in describing the mathematical apparatus of QFT. Unfortunately, very few are the ones which explain the physics aspects of QFT in details. For a beginner (as well as for an "expert") the physics aspects of QFT are usually elusive and hard to understand. Schweber's textbook is unique in a sense that both mathematics and physics features of QFT are lucidly described and explained.
I would strongly recommend to solve the problems from the book; most of them address the "physics feature" of QFT, and the reader will benefit immensely by analyzing these problems . There are some other very good textbooks; I would single out Walter Thirring - "Principles of Quantum Electrodynamics", Ernest Henley and Walter Thirring - "Elementary Quantum Field Theory", Gunnar Kallen - "Quantum Electrodynamics", James Bjorken and Sidney Drell - "Relativistic Quantum Fields" etc, but, as I see it, only Schweber's and Weinberg's monographies are the complete and complementary (physics & mathematics) description of Quantum Field Theory.
