by Lochlainn O' Raifeartaigh (Author)
Illustrates how gravitational theory and quantum mechanics played crucial roles in the reassessment of gauge theory as a geometric principle and as a framework for describing both electromagnetism and gravitation. This book also describes how the abelian electromagnetic gauge-theory was generalized to its non-abelian form.
