Quantum Many Particle Systems

by John W. Negele, Henri Orland

This book explains the fundamental concepts and theoretical techniques used to understand the properties of quantum systems having large numbers of degrees of freedom. A number of complimentary approaches are developed, including perturbation theory; nonperturbative approximations based on functional integrals; general arguments based on order parameters, symmetry, and Fermi liquid theory; and stochastic methods.

Concise and covers a lot of the essential basics. However, there are several typos and it's also perhaps a bit outdated. I wish Negele writes a second edition.
