The behavior of liquid 3He and 4He provides one of the best and most direct examples in nature of the influence of quantum statistics on the bulk properties of matter. This second edition brings the reader up to date on liquid 4He, liquid 3He, and mixtures. The book describes the history of liquefying helium and the research stimulated by its fascinating and unique features. It also remarks on the new branch of low-temperature physics this research has engendered, a subject of importance to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics or physical chemistry.

Sent to fight in the Italian Alps in the dead of winter on short notice after the German victory at Caporetto, British troops faced one of their most unique challenges of the war.

<p>Rommel was but a lieutenant in 1917, assigned to one of the German mountain units sent to Italy for the new offensive. As the German and Austrian troops launched their surprise attack at Caporetto, Rommel often found himself in command of many times the number of troops normally led by one of his rank. Rommel led mountain infantry and machine-gunners in many daring advances over some of the world's roughest terrain, on one occasion taking 9,000 prisoners in a single day. Rommel came away from the campaign with Germany's most coveted decoration, and had laid the foundation of a legend. </p>
<p>John and Eileen Wilks have been studying the Caporetto campaign for many years, and have drawn upon official records to reveal the influential early days of one of history's greatest military commanders.</p>
