	'''Anthony Zee''' (born 7 June 1945) is an American theoretical physicist and ~~author~~.<ref name="~~bio-source~~">{{Cite web \|title=Anthony Zee \|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Zee \|website=Wikipedia \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>		'''Anthony Zee''' (born 7 June 1945) is a Chinese-American theoretical physicist and writer.<ref name="wiki">{{Cite web \|title=Anthony Zee \|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Zee \|website=Wikipedia \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>

	Zee's ''Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell'' is a ~~widely used advanced introduction~~ to ~~the subject~~.		== Career and work ==
			Zee is a professor at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and the physics department of the University of California, Santa Barbara.<ref name="wiki" /><ref name="kitp">{{Cite web \|title=Anthony Zee \|url=https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/zee \|website=Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>

			His work and writing range across quantum field theory, statistical physics, gravity, and popular presentations of modern physics. He is widely known to students for the lively textbook ''Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell''.<ref name="wiki" /><ref name="nutshell">{{Cite web \|title=Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell \|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Field_Theory_in_a_Nutshell \|website=Wikipedia \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>

			The QFT further-reading list uses Zee because his books emphasize physical intuition as well as formal development, making them a common bridge from standard graduate courses to broader field-theory ideas.<ref name="nutshell" /><ref name="kitp" />
