Preface
In this final volume I have tried to present the subject of statistical mechanics
in accordance with the basic principles of the series. The effort again entailed
following Gustav Mahler's maxim, "Tradition =Schlamperei"(., filth)
and clearing away a large portion of this tradition-laden area. The result is a
book with little mon with most other books on the subject.
The ordinary perturbation—theoretic calculations are not very useful in
