This work in two volumes covers classical field theory, quantum mechanics and all major theoretical aspects of quantum field theory, and shows how they are related. Fields are viewed as global entities in spacetime, rather than as systems evolving from one instant of time to the next. The book should be particularly useful for quantum field theorists (especially students), theoretical physicists and mathematicians with an interest in physics.
