Statistical mechanics : from first principles to macroscopic phenomena /

Taking a 'reductionist' view of statistical mechanics, this book implicitly assumes that the physics of complex systems as observed is connected to fundamental laws represented at the molecular level by Newtonian or quantum mechanics. Written for one year graduate course in statistical mec...
