Spinors and space-time, Volume 1: Two-spinor calculus and relativistic fields

This volume introduces and systematically develops the calculus of 2-spinors. This is the first detailed exposition of this technique which leads not only to a deeper understanding of the structure of space-time, but also provides shortcuts to some very tedious calculations.
