Summary: beautifully presented self-contained treatment
Comment: This is perhaps my favorite book on statistical mechanics. Bloch's exposition is self-contained, starting from fundamental concepts. The emphasis is on concepts. The presentation is concise and elegant, relying on mathematics rather than words to present the theory. Highly recommended to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.
Rating: 5
Summary: Masterfully written
Comment: This text is composed of the lecture notes Felix Bloch delivered to the graduate students at Stanford. Clearly the author knew his stuff, but the writing and presentation is thoroughly accomodating to the beginner and builds from the symplectic structure of phase space all the way to full-blooded quantum statistics. The formalism is not as heady as the physical insights offered here, and the author goes to great effort to clarify the many subtle features of Statistical mechanics. Any beginning graduate student who seeks to augment their reading will be rewarded by this document. Similarly rewarded will be those who seek the insights of a unique mind who mastered a unique subject.
