Reviews

`a fine addition to the literature. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone seriously interested in understanding the theory of excitations in quantum fluids and solids. ... This is a fine book. I highly recommend it to those who are entering the field, those who want a tutorial on the subjects covered and those who want a guide to the relevant literature.'
