…of these things is still scattered in the research literature. The best attempt that I am aware of is the special year at Princeton in the 90s it produces a fantastic two volume collection of lectures “quantum fields and strings: a course for mathematicians”. Weinberg’s three part book on QFT is also pretty nice.
on “Can Foundational Physics Be Saved?” ↗…It does require you to know quantum mechanics. Mind you, it's not as deep as the standard texts (Polchinski et al. or Kaku's work prior to going off the rails) or my favourite which is the two-volume "Quantum Fields and Strings: A Course for Mathematicians". But it makes reading the others possible.
