The material presented in this invaluable textbook has been tested
in two courses. One of these is a graduate-level survey of
statistical physics; the other, a rather personal perspective on
critical behavior. Thus, this book defines a progression starting
at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the
midst of topics at the research level. To supplement the
research-level side the book includes some research papers. Several
of these are classics in the field, including a suite of six works
on self-organized criticality and complexity, a pair on
diffusion-limited aggregation, some papers on correlations near
critical points, a few of the basic sources on the development of
the real-space renormalization group, and several papers on
magnetic behavior in a plain geometry. In addition, the author has
included a few of his own papers.
