Julian Schwinger. Theory of Quantized Fields, I-VI, six parts in five issues, 1951-1954.
"On 13 June 1978 the Nobel laureate Chen Ning Yang wrote the following to the chairman of the physics department at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to support Julian Schwinger’s appointment as professor: 'Professor Julian Schwinger is among the great physicists of the contemporary era. His work covers an amazing range, from nuclear physics to elementary particle physics to field theory, from synchrotron radiation to group theory to microwave propagation.… The most important work of Schwinger was his contribution to renormalization, a contribution that stands among the greatest developments in physics in mid-twentieth century. Professor Schwinger is an eminently successful teacher. He probably has graduated more influential theoretical Ph.D. students than any other living physicist'."-DSB
