SUMMARY

Dover Publications plans to republish "Relativistic Quantum Fields" but there is uncertainty regarding the republication of "Relativistic Quantum Mechanics" by Bjorken and Drell. The current edition available on Amazon has been criticized for its unreadable print quality. Despite the demand for the book, McGraw-Hill is likely to retain its rights due to its continued sales performance. The discussion highlights concerns about the suitability of the existing edition for modern Quantum Field Theory (QFT) courses.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with the works of Bjorken and Drell
  • Knowledge of publishing rights and market dynamics
  • Ability to evaluate academic book editions and their quality
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest editions of "Relativistic Quantum Mechanics" and their reviews
  • Explore the current state of Quantum Field Theory textbooks
  • Investigate the publishing rights and market strategies of McGraw-Hill
  • Analyze the impact of print quality on academic resources
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, academic publishers, and anyone interested in the evolution of Quantum Field Theory literature.

I've seen at Amazon that Dover plans to republish "Relativistic Quantum Fields", does someone know if "Relativistic Quantum Mechanics" will be republish?

I read the reviews for the edition that they have at Amazon for the latter, and it seems the print is unreadable...

Yes, this book is no longer appropriate for modern course on QFT, and sale of the book becoming a problem for McGraw-Hill.

I do not think that McGraw-Hill will let this one go! It is still saling good.
