Thanks for the recommendation! Woit’s book does look fantastic (also as an introduction to quantum mechanics). I also known Sternberg’s Group Theory and Physics to be a good representation theory & physics book.
I did encounter Brown’s book during my search for algebraic topology books but I had to pass it over Bredon’s because it didn’t develop the homology / cohomology to the extent I was interested in. Though the groupoid perspective does seem very interesting and useful, so I might read it after completing my current set of textbooks.
No worries! For more recommendations like those two, I’d suggest having a look at “The Fast Track” on Sheafification. Of the books I’ve read from that list, all were fantastic. Note that site emphasises mathematics relevant for physics, and vice versa, so it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But given your interests, I think you’ll find it useful.
