Rezensionen

' ... has produced a treatise that many of us had long awaited, perhaps without fully realizing it ... with the publication of The Quantum Theory of Fields, Vol. 3, has performed an analogous service for supersymmetry ... Although this volume is the third in a trilogy, it is quite different from its two predecessors, and it stands on its own ... May a new generation of students imbibe its content and spirit.'
