Handbook of Perturbative QCD
by George Sterman, at al.
Publisher: CTEQ 2001
Number of pages: 194
Description:
The elements, theoretical basis, and experimental status of perturbative quantum chromodynamics are presented. Relevant field-theoretic methods are introduced at a nonspecialist level, along with a review of the basic ideas and methods of the parton model. This is followed by an account of the fundamental theorems of quantum chromodynamics, which generalize the parton model.

Quantum Chromodynamics and Hadrons: an Elementary Introductionby Alexander Khodjamirian - arXiv.org
In these lectures I will discuss the quark-gluon 'corner' ofthe Standard Model, introducing the basics of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of quark-gluon interactions. The main emphasis will be put on the relation between QCD and hadrons.
