This classic text, first published in 1972, is designed for
graduate physics courses in statistical mechanics. The second
edition, published in 1996, incorporated three comprehensive
chapters on phase transitions and critical phenomena.
This third edition includes new sections on Bose-Einstein
condensation and degenerate Fermi behavior of ultracold atomic
gases, and two new chapters on computer simulation methods and the
thermodynamics of the early universe. We have also added new
sections on chemical and phase equilibrium, and expanded our
discussions of correlations and scattering, quantized fields,
finite-size effects and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We
hope this new edition will continue to provide new generations of
students with a solid training in the methods of statistical
physics.
