Readable coverage of a broad range of applications. December 13, 2006

The first line of chapter one reads, "The best place to find out about path integrals is in Feynman's paper." This is the paper "Space-time Approach to Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics" (Rev. Mod. Phys. 20, p. 367 (1948)),
which is included in "Selected Papers on Quantum Electrodynamics" edited by Julian Schwinger, also reprinted by Dover. So you may want to start there first.
The current book has many short, readable chapters on various applications of path integration, each with copious references. The author's bias is toward non-QFT applications, which is fine as there are plenty of books on QFT.
This Dover reprint includes a 60 page supplement with notes, errata, and further references.
Very excellent books about Feynman's path integral January 10, 2007

The author collected many branches of modern physics abouut path integral.
It included many references for advanced reading.
Anyone wants to go into Feynman's path integral should read it.
