Summary: first vol only
Comment: i think the first chapter is a b---- to get through, but after i did that i found the entire book either particularly useful or insightful. volume two never motivated it's own purchase.
I read it in frech, so i cant talk about how well things are explained in english, just in case anything was lost in translation, but with something like chapter two on grassman variables i dont think it's such a big deal. to put it succintly chapter 2 makes berezin's book obsolete to me and i feel that way about the whole book.

Summary: First rate presentation
Comment: This first volume of a two volume set serves a wide audience. The monograph will prove to be indispensible primary or secondary material for those whose interests cover quantum fields in minkowski space, quantum fields in euclidean space, constructive field theory --- particularly `triviality' related matters --- critical phenomena, dimensional regulated renormalization, the renormalization group, and lattice QCD. As a secondary source, the monograph is particularly well suited when coupled to texts such as J. Zinn -Justin's `QFT and critical Phenomena', Peskin and Scroeder's `Intro to QFT', or Itzykson's own `QFT'; by combining one of these texts with vol I of Statistical Field Theory students preparing for research will find themselves with more then enough material to begin their work.
But the real pleasure of this text is in its writing style and presentation. Here the text is a true jewel amongst lesser competitors. Many subtle points --- frequently obscured elsewhere in the literature --- are presented sharply in Statistical Field Theory. This is accomplished by a *thoroughly* readable prose, clear presentation of material's motivation, a concise and consitent manner for presenting points, and many examples and excercises that truly illuminate the reading.
Overall, this is a text that anyone with even a passing interest in quantum fields will be rewarded by.
