Statistical Physics
by Michael Cross
Publisher: Caltech 2006
Number of pages: 263
Description:
The author discusses using statistical mechanics to understand real systems, rather than ideal systems that can be solved exactly. In addition dynamics and fluctuations are considered. These notes are an attempt to summarize the main points.

Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids
by Denis J. Evans, Gary P. Morriss - ANU E Press
The book charts the development and theoretical analysis of molecular dynamics as applied to equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems. It connects molecular dynamics simulation with the mathematical theory to understand non-equilibrium steady states.

Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
by T. Chou, K. Mallick, R. K. P. Zia - arXiv
We review some of the many recent activities on non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, focusing on general aspects. Using the language of stochastic Markov processes, we emphasize general properties of the evolution of configurational probabilities.
