Originally written in 1937-1939, the treatment provides a bridge between the classics (Maxwell, Boltzmann, Gibbs) and the then new world of quantum mechanics. What really impresses me is its modernity in approaching the subject from the full quantum point of view, using quantum statistics and density matrices from the outset. This is unifying and economic at the same time. Moreover, time and again I have found that many "modern" concerns in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, like, for instance, the issue about the equilibration of quantum many-particle systems, echoes opinions and insights already stated in this textbook. Everytime I pick my copy to take a glance I realize how puny such acclaimed books like L. Reichl's or the new M. Kardar's ones are (despite their many merits). There may be more gentle introductions to statistical mechanics out there (choose one), but this book makes an ideal 2nd. reading. This is the book that, together with S.-K. Ma's and K. Huang's books on the same subject, will make you a pro. Review: A well structured explanation - I really enjoy how the problems and solutions are described by stating the first basic assumptions thoroughly. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #682,297 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #116 in Mechanics #195 in Physics of Mechanics #269 in Mathematical Physics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (58) | | Dimensions | 6.75 x 1.25 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0750633727 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0750633727 | | Item Weight | 1.85 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 564 pages | | Publication date | January 15, 1980 | | Publisher | Butterworth-Heinemann | ## Images ![Statistical Physics, Third Edition, Part 1: Volume 5 (Course of Theoretical Physics, Volume 5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zYXXpB3aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly still modern after many (7+) decades *by J***A on January 27, 2012* This textbook is hardly to be surpassed by any other treatment of the subject.

He absolutely swears by the Landau and Lifshitz (sp?) series. ## Frequently Bought Together - Statistical Physics, Third Edition, Part 1: Volume 5 (Course of Theoretical Physics, Volume 5) - Quantum Mechanics: Non-Relativistic Theory - The Classical Theory of Fields: Volume 2 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8694034-statistical-physics-third-edition-part-1-volume-5-course-theoretical](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8694034-statistical-physics-third-edition-part-1-volume-5-course-theoretical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
