It provides a unique elementary introduction to quantum field theory, establishing the essentials of the formal and conceptual framework upon which the subsequent development of the three gauge theories is based. The text also describes tree-level calculations of physical processes in QED and introduces ideas of renormalization in the context of one-loop radiative corrections for QED.</P><P><STRONG>New to the Fourth Edition</STRONG></P><UL><P><LI>New chapter on Lorentz transformations and discrete symmetries in relativistic quantum mechanics, with physical applications</LI><LI>Introduction of Majorana fermions at an early stage
