Prominence is given to the Gibbs distribution, leading to a simple treatment of quantum statistics and of chemical reactions. Undergraduate students of physics and related sciences will find this a stimulating account of the basic physics and its applications. Only an elementary knowledge of kinetic theory and atomic physics, as well as the rudiments of quantum theory, are presupposed for an understanding of this book. \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStatistical Physics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, Second Edition features: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA fully integrated treatment of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA flow diagram allowing topics to be studied in different orders or omitted altogether.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptional \"starred\" and highlighted sections containing more advanced and specialised material for the more ambitious reader.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSets of problems at the end of each chapter to help student understanding.
