Endorsements “Sidney Coleman was the master teacher of quantum field theory. All of us who knew him became his students and disciples. Sidney’s legendary course remains fresh and bracing, because he chose his topics with a sure feel for the essential, and treated them with elegant economy.”

Frank Wilczek Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004 “It may seem strange to refer to a book on Quantum Field Theory as ‘fun’ — but this book is fun. The reader not only sees important physics and math, but also gets to appreciate a Master Teacher at work. It is wonderful to have these lectures written down so that they can be poured over and savored multiple times.”

Howard Georgi Harvard “Ah, quantum field theory: through Coleman’s eyes we watch a victory parade that made ‘the spectator gasp with awe and laugh with joy’!”

Anthony Zee University of California, Santa Barbara Author of Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell “Sidney Coleman’s course on quantum field theory was one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of my physics education. Uniquely meticulous and insightful, these notes from his lectures will be invaluable to anyone interested in the cornerstone topic of modern physics.”

Sean Carroll Caltech Author of Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity

Coleman s approach and his abilit to present an argument simpl without sacrificing rigor makes his book eas to read and ideal or the student.

Science Research Writing for native and non-native speakers of English 2nd Edition Hilary Glasman-Deal

Imperial College London, UK

Endorsement “This book should be on every STEMM academic’s bookshelf. In an academic world concerned with the quantity and quality of scientific publishing, this new edition of Science Research Writing is essential and timely. Writing enthusiastically and clearly, Glasman-Deal forensically deconstructs published texts to generate a series of robust, flexible models that help make writing less daunting. The content, tone, and language choice required to guide the reader through the main building blocks of STEMM writing (i.e. Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions) are clearly outlined; this helps the author communicate the intended meaning of every sentence, paragraph and section, clearly and unambiguously.

This book is essential reading for academics at all experience levels; it will not only benefit students taking their first steps into scientific writing but also publishing ‘veterans’ who are still looking for ways to improve their skills.”

Christopher Jackson Imperial College London
