COVARIANT OPERATOR FORMALISM OF GAUGE THEORIES AND QUANTUM GRAVITY
edited by N Nakanishi & I Ojima (Kyoto Univ.)
This book provides a thorough description of the manifestly covariant canonical formalism of the abelian and non-abelian gauge theories and quantum gravity. The emphasis is on its non-perturbative nature and the non-use of the path-integral approach. The formalism presented here is extremely beautiful and transparent.

Readership: High energy physicists.
"This extraordinary book is very attractive in its consistency and intelligibility and will be of interest to specialists and understandable for students."
