abstract = {"Quantum field theory is how modern physics describes
nature at its most profound level. Starting with the basics
of quantum mechanics itself, Sean Carroll explains
measurement and entanglement before explaining how the world
is really made of fields. You will finally understand why
matter is solid, why there is antimatter, where the sizes of
atoms come from, and why the predictions of quantum field
theory are so ... successful. Fundamental ideas like spin,
symmetry, Feynman diagrams, and the Higgs mechanism are
explained for real, not just through amusing stories. Beyond
Newton, beyond Einstein, and all the intuitive notions that
have guided homo sapiens for millennia, this book is a
journey to a once unimaginable truth about what our universe
is."},
