I don't know why, but I purchased Quantum Field Theory As Simple As Possible by Andrew Zee.

I actually like it (not so much his other book Quantum Field Theory In A Nutshell). The purpose of this post is to mention that while math is required, it is nothing beyond a HS or even advanced middle school student. Considering the importance of the material, rarely, if ever taught at this level, I think it a unique resource for our younger readers interested in what, as far as we can tell today, reality actually is. Of course anyone can read it, but the younger people on this forum should consider getting a copy. It is at a level above Rodney Brooks - Fields of Colour, which, while I also think is a decent beginner book, I have issues with.

Thanks
Bill

I still have trauma after his group theory book...

But I'll give it a try, because I love everything QFT related, and I'm thinking about writing something for my students, so maybe that will be an inspiration.
