Publisher Synopsis
! He [the author] has obviously thought deeply about how best to teach this subject. ! Students will appreciate the full and carefully elaborated solutions presented to many of the posed problems. ! The written text is lucid and informal. ! I would recommend it as a supplementary text ! . --Contemporary Physics, Volume 52, Issue 3, 2011 ! a different and insightful explanation of the main elementary material of statistical mechanics. ! I would recommend this book to those who wish to pursue a deeper understanding of statistical mechanics. This makes it best suited for postgraduate courses and beyond. ! For a course at any level, there is plenty of useful material and the book's less commonly encountered perspectives justify its consideration. --Richard Henchman, Reviews, Volume 11, 2010 Read more...
