Originally published as two separate volumes, The Theory of Quantum Liquids is a classic text that attempts to describe the qualitative and unifying aspects of an extremely broad and diversified field. Volume I deals with ‘normal’ Fremi liquids, such as 3He and electrons in metals. Volume II consists of a detailed treatment of Bose condensation and liquid 4He, including the development of a Bose liquid theory and a microscopic basis for the two-fluid model, and the description of the elementary excitations of liquid HeII.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great book with wrong information on amazon.com,
This review is from: Theory Of Quantum Liquids, Volume I: Normal Fermi Liquids (Advanced Books Classics) (Paperback)
This book (ISBN: 0201407744) is actually "The Theory of Quantum Liquids, Vol I" - it's not mentioned anywhere here!
The TITLE and SAMPLE PAGES (front cover, copyright, back cover, etc.) provided for this book on amazon.com are from "The Theory of Quantum Liquids" (ISBN: 0738202290) which is basically Vol I and Vol II published together as one book with 574 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Must have,
By "sergio_70" (Los Alamos, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theory Of Quantum Liquids (Advanced Books Classics) (v. 1 & 2) (Paperback)
This book is a classic. It is a must for anyone who approaches the quantum fluids field. The second part on the Bose liquid is far less complete than the first one on the Fermi counterpart which is just phenomenal. It is one of those books like A. G. D ... even when read for the million time you will find something you did not understand earlier. To me, it is a reference whenever i have trouble with something unclear. At the same level, I would complement it with Baym and Pethick's Fermi liquid theory, which, although it is not as complete, sometime adds a few supplementary comments..The authors focus on concepts,therefore you will find neither digrams nor Green's functions,which is a plus, since there are many books which do a perfect job on that.This is a book you will always go back to.

5.0 out of 5 stars
More than a textbook,
By Cattani Federica (Gothenburg, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theory Of Quantum Liquids (Advanced Books Classics) (v. 1 & 2) (Paperback)
It is sometimes difficult to have definite personal impressions about books on theoretical physics, but this time I have quite a clear idea: this book belongs to the best tradition of classical books in Physics. A book that is badly needed, also given the latest spectacular developments in the field of quantum systems such as Bose-Einstein condensates (just to mention one exemplar case). This book will help you if you need to study the theory behind these systems, clarity, completeness and ''patience'' in explaining and presenting problems are only some of its charachteristics. At the same time it will open a door on a different world with all its charme and fascination, because the fact that it is a good textbook does not steal any of the beauty and elegance of the exposition and of the subject treated here. It is not an easy book, it is not elementary or oversimplified, it is not for everybody, it is a door on the quantum world. Thank you Nozieres and Pines!
