VERY GOOD: This book is in very good condition, showing only the slightest signs of use and wear (mostly a few little flaws on its cover). It was printed on acid-free paper.
Product Details
This volume is part of the Texts and Monographs in Physics series from Springer.
From the back cover: "This book covers a broad range of important topics and recent developments in this field.
"First, the general language of quantum field theory is developed in a way appropriate for dealing with systems having a large number of degrees of freedom. This paves the way for a description of the basic processes in such systems, the emphasis being on phase transitions. Applications include various aspects of superfluidity and superconductivity, as well as a detailed description of the fractional quantum Hall liquid."
