This book, unlike "standard" texts like Peskin & Schroeder, deals more with the formal aspects of field theory, and may not be so useful for the person interested in phenomenology. Wilsonian RG is missing too, but it's a great place for an introduction to gauge theory.

A reader can learn how to compute the Green's functions and the scattering amplitudes using Feynman diagrams. The scalar Klein-Gordon field is used as a pedagogical example at the beginning.

About Pierre Ramond

Pierre Ramond was born in 1935 in the southern French town of Sorèze, near Toulouse. He studied cabinetmaking first at the Technical School in Revel, which is an important centre for this trade, and then at the Metge workshop. After his military service, he moved to the heart of France's cabinetmaking industry, the Faubourg Saint Antoine in Paris, where he headed the marquetry studio of Pierre Rosenau. At the close of this old and highly respected studio, he set up his own studio at his home in suburban Paris. During the 14 years that he operated his own business, he began teaching marquetry at L'Ecole Boulle, the prestigious craft school in Paris. He was named Full Professor in 1978. He is now President of the Jury of Marqueters for the contest of the "Meilleurs Ouvriers de France," a highly regarded competition that takes place every three years. In 1979 he received highest honours at the Sorbonne for his doctoral thesis on the history and technique of marquetry....
