Condensed Matter Physics (Wiley-Interscience) Condensed Matter Physics book

In summary, the conversation is about the book "Condensed Matter Physics" by Michael P. Marder and its suitability for a first introduction to condensed matter physics. The person asking for recommendations is interested in quantum-liquid-theory and is looking for lecture notes or other resources. Some suggested resources are provided, including a link to a forum thread and a few articles on the topic. The experts in the conversation are not familiar with "quantum liquid theory" but suggest some related topics and resources for further exploration.

hello,

do you have any experience with this book:
Condensed Matter Physics, Michael P. Marder, Wiley & Sons.
Is this good for the first contact to condensed matter physics, or can you recommend me another book?

thank you for the link, Astronuc.

I'm especially interested in quantum-liquid-theory, maybe there are any lecture notes on the web? i did a search and didnt find something, maybe someone is more lucky?

Quantum liquid theory is new to me.

Perhaps this might be of interest -

I haven't heard of "quantum liquid theory" either... Landau's Fermi liquid theory, yes, but not quantum liquid theory.
