He was a high school teacher for forty years, winning a Golden Apple in 2007. He has edited Freeman Dyson's Advanced Quantum Mechanics (World Scientific, 2007, 2011), and is co-editor of Lillian Lieber's The Einstein Theory of Relativity (Paul Dry Books, Philadelphia, 2008) and Quantum Field Theory Lectures of Sidney Coleman (World Scientific, 2018).Griffiths, David J.: - David J. Griffiths received his BA (1964) and PhD (1970) from Harvard University, and was Professor of Physics at Reed College from 1978 until 2009. He is author of Introduction to Electrodynamics (4th ed. Cambridge University Press, 2017), Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (3rd ed. with Darrell Schroeter, Cambridge University Press, 2018), Introduction to Elementary Particles (2nd ed. Wiley, 2008), and Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Physics (Cambridge, 2013). He is also co-editor of Quantum Field Theory Lectures of Sidney Coleman (World Scientific, 2018). He was a PhD student of Sidney Coleman, and this book is based in part on his lecture notes from Coleman's course on Relativity.Sohn, Richard B.: - Richard B.
