It provides a solid foundation for Berry phases, Chern numbers, and the Hall effects, which are critical for current research.
The problems at the end of each chapter are excellent but demanding. They aren't "plug-and-chug"; they often require you to derive a seminal result in the field. Who is this for? Condensed Matter Field Theory, Second Edition
It is arguably the best primary textbook for a many-body physics or QFT course. It provides a solid foundation for Berry phases,
