Other Which Springer books to buy? (QM, GR and statistical mechanics)

AI Thread Summary
Springer books are currently on sale, prompting an undergraduate student in Europe to seek recommendations for textbooks in quantum mechanics (QM), general relativity (GR), and statistical mechanics. Several specific titles are suggested, including links to books that cover these subjects comprehensively. Notably, Walter Greiner's works are highlighted as valuable resources, although many are now only available in e-book format due to discontinuation of print editions by Springer. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting quality textbooks to support academic studies and future career aspirations in physics.

Hello, Springer books are on sale this week so I wanted to buy some textbooks to support my studies and (eventual) future career.
I'm an undergrad (in europe) and my courses next year will be QM, GR and statistical mechanics, so I was looking for books about these topics, but any suggestion on what to buy would be very welcome, thank you!

I recommend also the books by Walter Greiner:
Unfortunately, most Greiner books are e-books only these days. I do not know why Springer has discontinued them. I really enjoyed his Quantum mechanics field theory and Quantum mechanics symmetries books.

Can still be bought used for a decent penny.

TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
