Reviews
"From the reviews: ""This book is the second volume of an impressive monograph that provides introductory accounts of important topics in mathematical physics for graduate students and research workers. It combines theories and applications to demonstrate how the rigorous mathematical point of view helps to clarify and answer questions arising in quantum field theory with a special emphasis on QED. … Supplemented with an extensive bibliography and historical remarks and citations, this is in my perspective a perfect book for mathematicians and physicists … ."" (Gert Roepstorff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1155, 2009) “It is very valuable to allow mathematicians to learn about one of the most successful physical theories, and … bring more mathematical approaches to QFT under the attention of physicists. … the book has a very rich up-to-date bibliography, hints for further reading closing each chapter and many historical remarks and quotes. … Quantum field theory. II. Quantum electrodynamics does a great job in guiding the interested reader through the literature … at the same time giving an overview of many aspects of quantum electrodynamics.” (Walter D. van Suijlekom, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 a) “The book by Zeidler … is the second volume of a projected six-volume treatise on quantum field theory.

The book under review treats so many topics that the reader feels like a tourist on a package tour that visits 19 countries in 5 days, neglecting not a single monument or picture gallery.” (William G.
