Quantum Interesting new QFT book by Shankar

Click For Summary
The new QFT book by Shankar focuses on the application of quantum field theory to condensed matter rather than serving as a straightforward introduction. It builds on the author's previous work in quantum mechanics, offering insights that are relevant to both fields. Readers express interest in the book's unique approach and potential contributions to understanding complex physical systems. The discussion highlights the significance of bridging quantum field theory with condensed matter physics. Overall, the book promises to be a valuable resource for those exploring advanced topics in these areas.

Yes, this is the same Shankar who wrote the QM book. It is not a pure QFT introduction like his QM book but seems more like QFT's application too Condensed matter.

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
