Synopsis:
The behaviour of matter at low temperatures is of profound significance for the understanding of a diverse range of fundamental physics, including important aspects of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, elementary particle physics and astrophysics. There is also a growing technology based on low temperatures, which is assuming a rapidly increasing importance. This book meets the need for a clear and unified introduction to physics at low temperatures and to some of these important applications.
Review: Will serve its intended readership well. - Nature
