What is a complete book for quantum field theory?

At the moment I am studying

Piron: Foundations of Quantum Physics,

Jauch: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, and

Ludwig: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

All of them discuss nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.

Now my question is, if there are corresponding approaches toquantum field theory (in particular aiming to the standard model ofparticle physics).

Edit (in response to noldorin's comment): I think if one knowsthe books mentioned above, the question is not very vague. Take forexample Ludwigs approch. For instance it is written with the aim inmind to provide clear foundations of nonrelativistic quantummechanics which match Ludwigs epistemological theory about physics(\"A new foundation of Physical Theories\"). It is axiomatic,mathematical sound, emphasises the idea of preperation andregistration procedures, uses the mathematical language of latticetheory etc. However since I am studying this book at the moment Imight miss some important points in Ludwigs approach. So I ask abit vague if there is an approach to QFT which corresponts in yourview to Ludwigs approach to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics inthe most essential points (from your point of view) (in style,epistemological background, mathematical language etc.). Perhapsthere are students of Ludwig which transfered and developed hisideas for QFT as well, I don't know

There are three QFT books that I would recommend Anthony Zees Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell is a very good book written for advanced undergraduatesbeginning grad students It is much more physicsy than mathy in focus with everything motivated as carefully as possible While the    See Answer
