The book on classical and quantum field theory had better have a good reason to be. A good reason there is. Firstly, most books are either on quantum fields or classical fields, never both, barring perhaps a brief introduction to classical fields just enough to find application to quantum fields. Very few introductory texts mention dynamical symmetries which lead to conservation of the Runge Lenz vector in discussions of Noether's theorm.
