A reader designed to provide a critical perspective on the meaning
and significance of modernity - among the most significant areas of
anthropological inquiry.
Statistical Physics II introduces nonequilibrium theories of
statistical mechanics from the viewpoint of the
fluctuation-disipation theorem. Emphasis is placed on the
relaxation from nonequilibrium to equilibrium states, the response
of a system to an external disturbance, and general problems
involved in deriving a macroscopic physical process from more basic
underlying processes. Fundamental concepts and methods are
stressed, rather than the numerous individual applications.
Statistical Physics I discusses the fundamentals of equilibrium
statistical mechanics, focussing on basic physical aspects. No
previous knowledge of thermodynamics or the molecular theory of
gases is assumed. Illustrative examples based on simple materials
and photon systems elucidate the central ideas and methods.
