resource recommendations - What is a complete book for introductory quantum field theory?



There's a fairly standard two or three-semester curriculum for introductory quantum field theory, which covers topics such as:



  • classical field theory background


  • canonical quantization, path integrals

  • the Dirac field

  • quantum electrodynamics

  • computing $S$-matrix elements in perturbation theory, decay rates, cross sections

  • renormalization at one loop

  • Yang-Mills theory

  • spontaneous symmetry breaking

  • the Standard Model


What is a good, complete and comprehensive book that covers topics such as these?
