¶ The TRUE FIRST EDITION of Feynman's crowning achievement, his only synthesis of quantum electrodynamics -- which was, of course, the heart of Feynman's work, and precisely the field in which he'd won his Nobel Prize: that is, for his "fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles." Gleick calls this book a model of science writing. This is the true first edition, with correct endpapers, spine, and dust-jacket, scarce on the market. -- -- References: Princeton University Press records (Princeton RBSC C0728) 214.01; Feynman papers (Caltech) 27.16; Gleick 13; Carter 88; Feynman sale 66n. -- Provenance: Private collector (Maryland).
