A Primer on Quantum Fluidsby Carlo F. Barenghi, Nick G. Parker - Springer
This book introduces the theoretical description of quantum fluids. The focus is on gaseous atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and, to a minor extent, superfluid helium, but the underlying concepts are relevant to other forms of quantum fluids.
