The aim of this book is the pedagogical exploration of the basic
principles of quantum-statistical thermodynamics as applied to
various states of matter - ranging from rare gases to astrophysical
matter with high-energy density. The reader will learn in this work
that thermodynamics and quantum statistics are still the concepts
on which even the most advanced research is operating - despite of
a flood of modern concepts, classical entities like temperature,
pressure, energy and entropy are shown to remain fundamental. The
physics of gases, plasmas and high-energy density matter is still a
growing field and even though solids and liquids dominate our daily
life, more than 99 percent of the visible Universe is in the state
of gases and plasmas and the overwhelming part of matter exists at
extreme conditions connected with very large energy densities, such
as in the interior of stars. This text, combining material from
lectures and advanced seminars given by the authors over many
decades, is a must-have introduction and reference for both
newcomers and seasoned researchers alike.
