Optimal for beginners in the field by Alexandros Gezerlis (Seattle, WA)  4 Stars
May 13, 2007
Judging from this volume, Annett seems to be a great teacher and a great writer.
The distance between the material covered here and actual research is quite large, but that's OK, since the book is advertised as a pedagogical introduction, and it is really good at that.
Every chapter includes a number of smartly-chosen problems, the solutions to which are given in an Appendix.
I have given the book 4 stars instead of 5, because it suffers from horrendous copy-editing. Grammatical mistakes, typos in equations, wrong references to previous equations (and the list goes on). One gets the feeling that the publisher received the author's manuscript and published it as is. This makes it very difficult to understand why it's so expensive. Hopefully these errors will be removed in a future edition.

a nice introduction to this subject by Villain (france)  5 Stars
February 07, 2005
As most of the books of this serie, this one is also a successful introduction to the desired subject.
The text is very pedagogical and the author never avoids a calculation which leads to an important result. Every formula is generally commented in order to extract the physics behind.
All the important subjects related to BEC are touched. The main core of the book seems ,for me, understandable by a good undergraduate student.
Of course that won't make you a specialist of this wide subject which required a lot of knowledges from different parts of physics , but at least the most important things will be kwnown and you will have the sufficent stuff to go more deeply in the subject of your choice with the required litterature ( which may be found in the bibliography of the book).
I think it deserves its five stars since the objectives of the books (being an clear introduction without being to light) are definitly reached. Definitly a nice book !
