Quantum Many-Particle Systems

by John W. Negele

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.

[Abhijeet Melkani]

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 However, there are several typos and it's also perhaps a bit outdated.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.
