There are many books on Quantum Field Theory. Here are some of them, some
with comments. We will cover all the material using Peskin and Schroeder,
and my lecture and supplementary notes, so you will not need any of
these, but there is lots of good material here.

Steven Weinberg The Quantum Theory of Fields, Cambridge University Press
(1995, 2005) ISBN-13 978-0-521-67053-1/ 0 521 55002 5
-
Part I, Fields and Renormalization, lays a solid foundation by
presenting canonical quantization, Feynman rules and scattering
matrices, and renormalization theory.
-
Part II, Gauge Theory and the
Standard Model, focuses on the Standard Model and discusses path
integrals, gauge theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, the
renormalization group, and BPHZ quantization.
-
Part III, Non-perturbative Methods and Unification, discusses more
advanced methods which now form an essential part of field theory,
such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, instantons,
supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings.
Mark Srednicki Quantum Field Theory ISBN-10: 0521864496. I haven't
looked at this, but have heard praise for it. A free draft version is
available at http://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~mark/qft.html.
Thomas Banks Modern Quantum Field Theory ISBN 978-0-521-85082-7
Cambridge (2008), Rather terse.
Some papers on Supersymmetry
-
http://www.hep.fsu.edu/~baer/china_1.pdf, pp 21-25 very minimal
-
http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0101055 Introduction to supersymmetry, Adel Bilal
77 pages, uses dotted and undotted.
-
http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/9709356 A Supersymmetry Primer, Stephen P. Martin
112 pages, dense but maybe good.
-
http://xxx.lanl.gov/pdf/hep-th/9612114 Joseph D. Lykken, Introduction
to Supersymmetry 67 pages
-
arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0505105 Supersymmetry and the MSSM: An Elementary
Introduction. Ian J R Aitchison. Long article, probably good.
-
Kaku, Quantum Field Theory, Chapter 20 probably best to look at if you
have access to the book
