Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics (Chicago Lectures in Physics)
Robert M. Wald
University Of Chicago Press, 1994
Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics (Chicago Lectures in Physics)
I ordered this physics book for my brother. He informed me that he received it and was apparently very happy with it. This is all I can say relative to this purchase.

Symmetries, Lie Algebras and Representations: A Graduate Course for Physicists (Cambridge Monographs on ...
Jürgen Fuchs, Christoph Schweigert
Cambridge University Press, 2003
Mixed feelings
Lie groups and Lie algebras permeate most parts of theoretical physics. Every student in physics should have some basic notions of the subject as it sometimes tends to have unsuspected applications.
The first three chapters of this book include exemples and motivation for the more formal aspect ...

Supersymmetry and Supergravity
Julius Wess, Jonathan Bagger
Princeton University Press, 1992
Classic intro to SUSY
+ Necessary but not sufficient
This book is the classic introduction to superfields. It is very elegant an formal, and appeals to the more mathematically minded particle physics student. It contains almost nothing on phenomenological applications of supersymmetry, and keeps it's hands clean by avoiding messy but important ...
