This book is not good. The chapters are extremely short, and as a result the entire book is weak. There are very few connections between equations. At times, it seems as if Yoshioka pulls the equations (and material) out of thin air. Some of the equations he puts in are also of rare form and, in

<p><P>This book provides a comprehensive presentation of the basics of statistical physics. The first part explains the essence of statistical physics and how it provides a bridge between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena, allowing one to derive quantities such as entropy. Here the author avoids
<P>A macroscopic system consists of a tremendous number of microscopic atoms and molecules. In thermal equilibrium the state of such a system is uniquely defined, despite the fact that the microscopic particles behave quite randomly. This observation gives rise to the fundamental law of the statisti
