Summary: A precious little book about a beautiful subject
Comment: I love this little guy. Written by two students of the eminent theoretical physicist Chen-Ning Yang, it captures all the essential features of Yang's (and Mills') beautiful idea: the deep and powerful geometrical interpretation of general (classical and quantum) fields derived from the deceptively simple principle of gauge invariance. Although it requires some knowledge of field theory, it doesn' t force the reader to study hundreds of pages of prerequisites to understand the topics treated. It follows a very wise philosophy about the maths of gauge theory, by not slaughtering the reader's mind with lots of differential geometry right at the beginning of the book, although it accomplishes to discuss even some quite esoteric topics, as how Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry may arise in non-conventional field theories (e.g., string theory). Even people already acknowledged with gauge theories may learn one or more things from this book.
