It provides a solid foundation for Berry phases, Chern numbers, and the Hall effects, which are critical for current research.
If you want to understand the why behind terms like "Goldstone modes" or "Effective Field Theory" appearing in papers, the first few chapters are gold. Condensed Matter Field Theory, Second Edition
Condensed Matter Field Theory by Alexander Altland and Ben Simons is widely considered the "gold standard" for graduate students and researchers transitioning from introductory many-body physics to the modern language of quantum field theory (QFT). It provides a solid foundation for Berry phases,
The second edition expanded significantly to include modern "hot topics." It covers the essentials—functional integration, mean-field theory, and linear response—but excels in its treatment of: and the Hall effects
