Colin J Thompson 1979 Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press x + 278 pp price £3.45 (paperback) Although addressed primarily to undergraduates in applied mathematics, any physicist with a mathematical turn of mind who is interested in statistical mechanics could read this book with profit. It presents the subject from a point of view quite different from that with which he is likely to be familiar; it is concise, lucid and readable.
