This self-contained treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems discusses both formalism and applications in terms of ground-state (zero-temperature) formalism, finite-temperature formalism, canonical transformations, and applications to physical systems. 149 figures. 8 tables. 1971 edition.
this book was the most helpful of the 3 qft books that i used (AGD, this one, Mattuck). lots of examples and steps laid out in certain topics then others have very few steps with leaps and bounds taken to get between each step. so basically it is all over the place but a better read than AGD.
