Description: QED The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Richard P. Feynman Princeton University Press, 1988, 0691024170, Trade Paperback, VG condition, no marks, no creases. 158 pages. Quantumelectrodynamics (QED) was the subject of "QED - The Strange Theory of Light and Matter," the popular book by Richard Feynman which was first published by Princeton University Press in 1985. Feynman makes passing references to the fact that the book is based on a series of general lectures on QED which were first delivered in New Zealand. Feynman had doubts about the accessibility of the lectures on QED to a general audience, and chose not to initially deliver these lectures at his native Caltech. Rather he chose remote New Zealand as his testing ground and in the process, gave the New Zealand physics community the dubious honor of being the guinea-pigs for his QED lectures. At Auckland University, these lectures were delivered in 1979, as the Sir Douglas Robb Lectures. CONTENTS Foreword by Leonard Mautner Preface by Ralph Leighton Acknowledgment 1. Introduction 2.
