Modern experimental developments in condensed matter and ultracold atom physics present formidable challenges to theorists. This book provides a pedagogical introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics, emphasizing the applicability of the formalism to concrete problems. This second edition contains two new chapters developing path integral approaches to classical and quantum nonequilibrium phenomena. Other chapters cover a range of topics, from the introduction of many-body techniques and functional integration, to renormalization group methods, the theory of response functions, and topology. Conceptual aspects and formal methodology are emphasized, but the discussion focuses on practical experimental applications drawn largely from condensed matter physics and neighboring fields. Extended and challenging problems with fully worked solutions provide a bridge between formal manipulations and research-oriented thinking. Aimed at elevating graduate students to a level where they can engage in independent research, this book complements graduate level courses on many-particle theory.

Best source to learn Condensed Matter Field theory
I had already studied a few chapters in an online version of this fascinating book. However, after some time I realized I need to have this book handy always and finish reading all the chapters. This is not a story book. So, by 'Reading' I mean work with pencil and paper through each and every page of this book. CMT is a vast field, and this book covers most of the important topics that both beginners and experts who are going to stay in this field should learn. By the time you finish the first 400 pages (Part-I) you will be ready to conduct research in any of the topics. The authors have an excellent writing style, and the fonts are very inviting and readable. The historic remarks and pictures are additional features that will keep us glued to this book. My salute to the authors for taking enormous efforts to write this book carefully, and so well organized. If I find any mistakes, I will surely let them know. Thank you, and happy learning.

Excellent
This is an excellent introductory textbook for those young condensed matter theorists who wish to understand the physical concepts underlying their field, as well as be prepared to conduct their own research and read more serious literature.
