Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell
Luca Peliti

Book Description | Table of Contents
Chapter 3 [PDF only] | Chapter 5 [PDF only]

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"This superb text provides a balanced and thorough treatment of statistical physics. From thermodynamics and basic principles to renormalization group, dynamics, and complex systems, the presentation is a model of clarity, and the level of detail is highly appropriate for graduate students or advanced undergraduates. Each chapter concludes with a helpful list of recommended further reading. I see this becoming a standard textbook for the next generation of PhD students."--Daniel Arovas, University of California, San Diego

"This is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to statistical mechanics in all of its aspects. The exposition is stimulating and concise but always clear, avoiding pedantic details. Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell has the potential to become a standard reference."--Giovanni Gallavotti, Sapienza University of Rome
