AI Thread Summary
For those seeking a good and reasonably priced book on quantum chromodynamics (QCD), "Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schroeder is recommended, though it is noted to be on the expensive side for new copies. Another suggested resource is the paperback version of Greiner's book specifically on QCD, priced at around $77. It is highlighted that finding quality books under $60 is challenging. Additionally, engaging with research papers on arXiv is emphasized as a crucial way to deepen understanding of QCD.

If you're beginner, choose Peskin&Schroeder ( expensive price for new copy) every good QFT book is expensive .. after that just take Greiner book ( Quantum Chromodynamics ) paperpack version for 77$, Its very hard to find a good book and price under 60$ like this. And Another Important thing is to read papers on arXiv, read a lot of papers on QCD, this is the most important thing.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
