A suggestion is made to consider Srednicki's book, highlighting that a prepublication draft is available for free. This recommendation aligns with the user's desire for accessible and comprehensive material. Overall, the discussion focuses on finding suitable QFT resources for learners.

I'm looking for a book on QFT that is both introductory and somewhat rigorous. I have Zee's book but for me it is kind of hard to follow. I would prefer something that is more like a textbook introduction to the subject - not necessarily covering the whole subject but logically rigorous for what it does cover. Can anybody recommend such a book?

Thanks in advance.

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
