Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell

This book, by the well-known statistical physicist Luca Peliti, was published originally in Italian as Appunti di mecanica statistica. This translation, by Mark Epstein, has now been brought out by Princeton University Press in its In a Nutshell series, which is a '...new series of concise, accessible, and up-to-date textbooks for advanced undergraduates and graduate students on key subjects in the physical sciences'.
