I just started on this book a few weeks ago. It's pretty understandable
by anyone who has finished their undergrad and has a good grasp of R.
Shankar's quantum book. I'm not even to page 40, and so far Zee has
shown (albeit without much depth yet) how gravity, Yukawa, and
electromagnetism arise naturally from QFT and symmetries.
