Synopsis

Building on the material learned by students in their first few years of study, this book presents an advanced level course on statistical and thermal physics. It begins with a review of the formal structure of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics considered from a unified viewpoint. After a brief revision of non-interacting systems, emphasis is laid on interacting systems.

Review

an excellent graduate-level textbook ....concise but provides an accurate and well-balanced introduction to a remarkable breadth of topics

The text is rather clearly, motivating and understandably written ]] it covers a great deal of material and makes acquaintance with many models, objects and concepts that are useful for a deeper study of Statistical Mechanics. -- Zentralblatt MATH "Zentralblatt MATH"
