(free kindle) Gauge Theories in Particle Physics by Aitchison & Hey

In summary: We had Peskin and Schroeder...But I bought Srednicki and Zee, and was recommended by another professor to look up B&L and Ramond!After that, I tried to tackle Weinberg... have still not come far in those books :)Zee makes you feel you grasp the material rather quickly, but it is, in my opinion, the first-time textbook. I own Srednicki, but I've never tried it, and there are so many recommendations about that book. I'm reading Peskin and Schroeder and the impression is it is very strong in allowing the reader to jump into the research literature immediately.

That was (and is) also one of my favorites too when learning QFT in the path-integral formalism.

The QFT course at my university was (probably after 20 yrs still is) based on B&L.
