Spinor theory is an important tool in mathematical physics in particular in the context of conformal field theory and string theory. These lecture notes present a new way to introduce spinors by exploiting their intimate relationship to Clifford algebras. The presentation is detailed and mathematically rigorous. Not only students but also researchers will welcome this book for the clarity of its style and for the straightforward way it applies mathematical concepts to physical theory.

Here's my short introduction to spinors which explains the difference between Dirac spinors, Weyl spinors, Majorana spinors and Majorana-Weyl spinors. Trautman's book The Spinorial Chessboard is dense but packed with good info:
