Abstract
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.
Comments: plain TeX or pdftex; 885 pages, 73 figures (eps); 3rd edition: added dilaton cosmology, 1-loop N=4 YM, 1st-q loops, string loops, etc
