S. Weinberg, Quantum Theory of Fields, 3 Vols., Cambridge University Press
It's however not ideal as an introductory textbook. You should complement it by some more introductory book, also dealing with phenomenology, for which I recommend
O. Nachtmann, Elementary Particle Physics, Springer-Verlag
D. H. Perkins, Introduction to high-energy physics, Cambridge University Press

I have had it for almost 30 years, read it on occasion and realize just how much I forgot over the years...ace_09 said:I see. Good thing is this is the preferred textbook for our Group Theory class. Thank you very much! I have decided to find myself a copy of Wu Ki Tung's book.

Based on the title, I think it's a complete one. Thank you for the linkibkev said:Here is the final draft version of Peter Woit's book called "Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations: An Introduction" published by Springer later this year.
