This modern treatment of statistical physics includes studies of neutron stars, superconductivity and the recently developed fluctuation theorems. It also presents figures and problems in a clear and concise way, aiding the student's understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wiley \u0026amp; Sons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.60w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119975304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Ford\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDepartment of Physics and Astronomy, University College London, UK\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40714401022067,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":100.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_59642108-ac8a-48a4-99cd-8d7735b6e163.jpg?v=1676647572","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/statistical-physics-9781119975304","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
