This textbook constitutes both a graduate-level survey of statistical physics and a rather personal perspective on critical behaviour. Thus, it defines a progression starting at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the midst of topics at the research level.
The material presented in this invaluable textbook has been tested in two courses. One of these is a graduate-level survey of statistical physics; the other, a rather personal perspective on critical behavior. Thus, this book defines a progression starting at the book-learning part of graduate education and ending in the midst of topics at the research level. To supplement the research-level side the book includes some research papers. Several of these are classics in the field, including a suite of six works on self-organized criticality and complexity, a pair on diffusion-limited aggregation, some papers on correlations near critical points, a few of the basic sources on the development of the real-space renormalization group, and several papers on magnetic behavior in a plain geometry. In addition, the author has included a few of his own papers.

Fundamentals of statistical physics: the lectures - a survey; one particle and many; Gaussian distributions; quantum mechanics and lattices. Random dynamics: diffusion and hopping; from hops to statistical mechanics; correlations and response. More statistical mechanics: statistical thermodynamics; Fermi, Bose, and other. Phase transitions: overview of phase transitions; mean field theory of critical behaviour; continuous phase transitions; renormalization in one dimension; real space renormalization techniques; duality; planar model and Coulomb systems; XY model, renormalization and duality.
