Introduction to Quantum Field Theory
by Matthew Schwartz
Publisher: Harvard University 2008
Number of pages: 262
Description:
The approach I will take in this course is to emphasize that Quantum Field Theory is first and foremost a tool for performing practical calculations. In this regard, I will try to emphasize the physical problems which have driven the historical development of the field, and to show how they can be solved.

Quantum Field Theoryby A.N. Schellekens
All particles in the standard model correspond to some field in a quantum field theory. Our task is to understand how this works, how to describe interactions of these particles using quantum field theory, and how to compute various processes.
