For anyone interested in this subject, I highly recommend my book
QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter, available on Amazon
QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter: Richard P. Feynman: 9780691024172: Amazon.com: Books (also available for e-book devices).
Although intended as a layman's introduction to quantum electrodynamics, I give the reader a brief yet in-depth view into the interactions of light rays with ordinary matter on the quantum level. (Don't worry, I left the math out of this one.)
Do you want to learn how photons seem to travel backwards in time? Find out that light can travel at different speeds? Use big words like QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS to impress friends and co-workers? Of course you do!
(BTW, I also have many other totally awesome books available

)
