Describes particle physics and critical phenomena in statistical mechanics in a unified framework, incorporating graduate lecture notes from the 1970s and 1980s

The successful calculation of critical exponents for continuous phase transitions is one of the main achievements of theoretical physics over the last quarter-c

A Primer to the Theory of Critical Phenomena provides scientists in academia and industry, as well as graduate students in physics, chemistry, and geochemistry

A modern up-to-date introduction for readers outside statistical physics. It puts emphasis on a clear understanding of concepts and methods and provides the too

First published in 1971, this highly popular text is devoted to the interdisciplinary area of critical phenomena, with an emphasis on liquid-gas and ferromagnet
