"Fields"

Authors: W. Siegel (C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics)
Warren Siegel <siegel@insti.physics.sunysb.edu>
Date (v1): Tue, 21 Dec 1999 16:12:46 GMT   (824kb)
Date (revised v2): Thu, 19 Sep 2002 20:58:01 GMT   (878kb)

Comments: plain TeX or pdftex; 796 pages, 47 figures (eps); 2nd edition has corrections, 20% more exercises, etc., but no new subsections

The first free comprehensive textbook on quantum (and classical) field theory. The approach is pragmatic, rather than traditional or artistic: It includes practical techniques, such as the 1/N expansion (color ordering) and spacecone (spinor helicity), and diverse topics, such as supersymmetry and general relativity, as well as introductions to supergravity and strings. The PDF version can be more convenient than paper books, with Web links and a clickable outline (contents) window.

"Strong woman: unshrouding the secrets of the soul"
by M. Sue Benford

Source Books, Inc.
PO Box 292231, Nashville, TN 

A brave and unusual book outlining Sue's personal journey and her remarkable experiments with quantum holographic encoding, Dela Warr photography and energy signatures of conscious intent. Benford's research received a grant from the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), to support her work in the identification of the subtle energies responsible for alternative healing effects. Further recognition for Benford's research and theories has come through the Discover Magazine awards program. The author of several breakthrough papers on the Shroud of Turin and an acclaimed expert in this field, Sue's innovative studies represent pioneering experimental work and deserve further attention.
