M.E. Peskin and D.V. Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, Addison-Wesley. The introductory QFT textbook for particle physicists. After a canonical introduction to relativistic QFT in part I, the second part deals with functional integrals. Also contains a pretty nice chapter on critical phenomena which provides a complementary point
