QFT

I have not mentioned in this list any books on QFT, because none of them really satisfy me.
To tell you the truth, this subject is maybe the most difficult of all things I have ever studied.
Nevertheless
, I will provide a few well-known sources.

As an introduction one can use these materials:
Tong; Zee; Srednicki; McMahon, Clarkson&McKeaon; L. Landau, E. Lifshitz, Vol.3, Chapter IX.

My favourite book on QFT:
Ryder.

Books for theorists:
Peskin&Schroeder; Itzykson&Zuber; Weinberg; Coleman (Aspects of Symmetry + Physics 253 notes); Bjorken&Drell.

More good books:
Alvarez-Gaume; Quigg; Bailin&Love.

In David Tong's lectures on QFT one can find a full set of useful conventions.

'Demystified' series

While the series' title has a touch of humour in it, do not yet be deceived. This is a collection of high-quality, even though somewhat informal, texts.
Often trading technicalities for pivotal ideas, these books serve as worthy prolegomena to their areas.
Especially helpful are the books by David McMahon on QFT and Strings and by Patrick Labelle on Supersymmetry.
