An Introduction To Pain And Nervous System Disorders
by Anna BattagliaThis book presents current research in progress on pain. Different 'philosophical/scientific" perspectives can be adopted while studying the functioning of the nervous system especially taking into account in the first place what can be considered a "normal/healthy" vs. an "unhealthy" nervous system. The field of pain and its inter-relationship with well-known human nervous system disorders such as Alzhemiers, Parkinsons and MS is huge. Battaglia does not aim to provide an in depth, encyclopedic reference to pain but will instead, help non-experts, including advanced undergraduate and new postgraduate students, become broadly familiar with the current, wide-ranging areas of research that cover every aspect of the field from chronic and inflammatory pain to neuropathic pain and biopsychosocial models of pain, functional imaging and genetics. The aim is to prompt the readers to become critical and independent thinkers and motivate them to do further reading on these topics. Chapter contributions from leading experts in their field, including members from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, will provide both factual information and critical points of view on their approach to the subject matter and the theoretical framework behind their choices.

An Introduction To Quantum Field Theory
by Michael E. Peskin Daniel V. SchroederAn Introduction to Quantum Field Theoryis a textbook intended for the graduate physics course covering relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and Feynman diagrams. The authors make these subjects accessible through carefully worked examples illustrating the technical aspects of the subject, and intuitive explanations of what is going on behind the mathematics. After presenting the basics of quantum electrodynamics, the authors discuss the theory of renormalization and its relation to statistical mechanics, and introduce the renormalization group. This discussion sets the stage for a discussion of the physical principles that underlie the fundamental interactions of elementary particle physics and their description by gauge field theories.
