20世纪60年代，量子电动力学（QED）的兴起使许多关于量子场论的优秀教科书成为可能。然而，随着量子色动力学（QCD）和标准模型的兴起，迫切需要为20世纪90年代及以后编写一本完全现代的教科书。在QED的基础上，《量子场论：现代导论》对规范革命以及使标准模型成为亚原子现象的主要理论的理论和实验证据进行了清晰而全面的讨论。本书分为三个部分：第一部分，领域和重整化，奠定了坚实的基础，提出规范量化，费曼规则和散射矩阵，重整化理论。第二部分，规范理论和标准模型，着重于标准模型，讨论了路径积分、规范理论、自发对称破缺、重整化群和BPHZ量子化。第三部分，非微扰方法和统一，讨论了更先进的方法，这些方法现在形成了场论的重要组成部分，如临界现象，晶格规范理论，瞬子，超对称，量子引力，超引力和超弦。
The rise of quantum electrodynamics (QED) made possible a number of excellent textbooks on quantum field theory in the 1960s. However, the rise of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the Standard Model has made it urgent to have a fully modern textbook for the 1990s and beyond. Building on the foundation of QED, Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction presents a clear and comprehensive discussion of the gauge revolution and the theoretical and experimental evidence which makes the Standard Model the leading theory of subatomic phenomena. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Fields and Renormalization, lays a solid foundation by presenting canonical quantization, Feynman rules and scattering matrices, and renormalization theory. Part II, Gauge Theory and the Standard Model, focuses on the Standard Model and discusses path integrals, gauge theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, the renormalization group, and BPHZ quantization. Part III, Non-perturbative Methods and Unification, discusses more advanced methods which now form an essential part of field theory, such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, instantons, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings.
