Preface
The purpose of this textbook is to introduce the student to a basic area of macro-
scopic physics, namely the statistical mechanical study of the different phases of
matter, as well as the phase transitions between them. Although many books on
statistical physics, for both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems, are already
available, they largely differ in contents. This generally reflects not only the differ-
ent interests of their authors, b
