Elementary Principles of Statistical Mechanics
by Josiah Willard Gibbs
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons 1902
ISBN/ASIN: 0486789950
Number of pages: 273
Description:
Written by J. Willard Gibbs, the most distinguished American mathematical physicist of the nineteenth century, this book was the first to bring together and arrange in logical order the works of Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs himself. The lucid, advanced-level text remains a valuable collection of fundamental equations and principles.

Bosonization of Interacting Fermions in Arbitrary Dimensions
by Peter Kopietz - arXiv
In this book we describe a new non-perturbative approach to the fermionic many-body problem, which can be considered as a generalization to arbitrary dimensions of the well-known bosonization technique for one-dimensional fermions.
