		Condensed matter physics is the field of physics that deals with the macroscopic physical properties of matter.
		In particular, it is concerned with the "condensed" phases that appear whenever the number of constituents in a system is extremely large and the interactions between the constituents are strong.
		The most familiar examples of condensed phases are solids and liquids; more exotic condensed phases include the superfluid and the Bose-Einstein condensate, the superconducting phase, and the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases of spins on atomic lattices.

		Condensed Matter Physics has grown from its roots in Solid State Physics and Low Temperature Physics to encompass the basic physics of the structure and properties of materials, from the atomic scale to the larger scales of familiar phenomena in the world around us.
		Over the past few decades an understanding has developed that the collective properties of the many strongly interacting particles comprising condensed matter systems are by no means a simple consequence of the basic laws of interactions between them, so that exotic new phenomena, such as new phases of matter, continue to be discovered.
		The principle of using microwave techniques to perform precision density measurements of the helium in condensed phases is based on the Clausius-Massotti relation which relates the density of liquid helium to its dielectric constant.

		The goal of condensed matter physics is to understand how underlying laws unfold themselves in objects of the natural world.
		While I have to commend Marder at his attempt to provide a great deal of breadth on the enormous field of condensed matter, I think he fell short on the details and pedagogy that are necessary for someone new to the subject.
