Fundamental Kinetic Processesby E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner - Boston University
The authors discuss the development of basic kinetic approaches to more complex and contemporary systems. Among the large menu of stochastic and irreversible processes, we chose the ones that we consider to be among the most instructive.

Introduction to the Field Theory of Classical and Quantum Phase Transitionsby Flavio S. Nogueira - arXiv
These notes provide a self-contained introduction to field theoretic methods employed in the study of classical and quantum phase transitions. Classical phase transitions occur at a regime where quantum fluctuations do not play an important role.
