Weinberg S. The Quantum Theory of Fields. Volume 2: Modern Applications

Cambridge University Press, USA, 1996. – 514 p. – ISBN: 0521550025In "The Quantum Theory of Fields" Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg combines his exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition to provide a self-contained, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction to quantum field theory. The development is fresh and logical, with each step carefully motivated by what has gone before. The presentation of modern mathematical methods is throughout interwoven with accounts of applications in both elementary particle and condensed matter physics . It contains much original material, and is peppered with examples and insights drawn from the author's experience as a leader of elementary particle research. Problems are included at the end of each chapter.
