Critics Review

“Unlike typical textbooks … [Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell] presents statistical mechanics as a more general theory with broader applications… A graduate student or researcher who wants to explore the applications of statistical mechanics would be very well served by this book.”–Choice “Peliti’s Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell is a fantastic reference for those who know the subject, teach it, or need a quick technical reminder, especially on the topic of phase transitions, which are consistently featured in modern-day discussions… Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell provides the more general overview, with topics such as the renormalization group method. It includes a good mix of fundamental thermodynamics, phase behaviour, and other key subjects.”–Physics Today
