Synopsis
This invaluable textbook is an introduction to statistical physics that has been written primarily for self-study.

Each idea is brought out with ample motivation and clear, step-by-step, deductive exposition. The key points and methods are presented and discussed on the basis of concrete representative systems, such as the paramagnet, Einstein's solid, the diatomic gas, black body radiation, electric conductivity in metals and superfluidity.The book is written in a stimulating style and is accompanied by a large number of exercises appropriately placed within the text and by self-assessment problems at the end of each chapter. Detailed solutions of all the exercises are provided.

Review
"The coverage of the material is reasonably complete and on the whole clearly explained ... In many ways, it is admirable and provides a refreshing and sometimes subtle and careful introduction to statistical mechanics."
