James F. Annett is Professor of Physics at the University of Bristol, UK.
"Annett (physics, University of Bristol) covers three main strands
in condensed matter physics in this text for senior undergraduate
and graduate students. Subjects are developed in a way which
gradually builds up key concepts and the necessary mathematical
machinery. The book begins with a review of basics of the
Bose-Einstein ideal gas before going into techniques of magnetic
trapping and cooling of atoms and the discovery of Bose-Einstein
condensates in dilute atomic gases. The physical phenomena of
superfluidity are then introduced, and the theory of
superconductivity is developed in stages, starting with simpler
theories and then developing the mathematical concepts of a quantum
coherent state. --SciTech Book News
