Statistical Mechanics [E-Book] : Part A: Equilibrium Techniques / edited by Bruce J. Berne.
The last decade has been marked by a rapid growth in statistical mechanics, especially in connection with the physics and chemistry of the fluid state. Our understanding in these areas has been considerably advanced and enriched by the discovery of new techniques and the sharpening of old techniques...
