Statistical Mechanics of Phase Transitions (Oxford Science Publications)
"Readers of Dr. Yeomans' book will be succinctly introduced to these 'mysteries' and more in less than 150 pages of text. They will be introduced to the main lines of research activity and the important papers in each. . . . novices will be provided with an up-to-date map of the field." --Contemporary Physics"Provides a brief, accessible introduction to phase transitions, critical phenomena and the renormalization group. I was well pleased with the clarity and coherence of the exposition. . . . this book will prove useful to the beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate student who wants to start learning about phase transitions and critical phenomena, and to the instructor who would like to teach the subject to such a student." --Physics Today
