Modern Statistical Mechanics
by Paul Fendley - The University of Virginia
This book is an attempt to cover the gap between what is taught in a conventional statistical mechanics class and between what is necessary to understand current research. The aim is to introduce the basics of many-body physics to a wide audience.
