I Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible i , A. Zee, Princeton U. Press, 2023, $39.95 Countless books aim to explain quantum mechanics to a lay audience, but few authors have attempted to present a popular introduction to quantum field theory, the mathematical framework linking quantum mechanics with special relativity. A. Zee, a well-known author of several textbooks and popular-science works, attempts to fill that gap in this new book. Yet perhaps the most provocative portion of the book looks toward the past: Rubenstein convincingly demonstrates that NASA and US politicians used Christian imperialist language to justify the Apollo missions.
