What Are the Best Reading Recommendations for Understanding Spinors in Physics?

Hello! Can someone recommend me some good readings about spinors in physics? I know some basics (i.e. how they work in Minkowski space for Dirac field), but I would like to understand more of the mathematical formalism behind them (how can you build them, in a general number of dimensions, how do you build the generators of their Lie Algebra etc.). I would honestly prefer a book that doesn't go too deep into the formalism (i.e. complete proofs of any small details, and extreme abstractisations), but something at the boundary between math and physics. Thank you!

Van Proeyen's supergravity lectures could be helpful.
