Sinopsis

This is a paperback edition of a distinguished book, originally published by Clarendon Press in 1971. It was then the first text on critical phenomena, a field that has enjoyed great activity for the past twenty years and that still continues to attract much attention. The book is at the level at which a graduate student who has studied condensed matter physics can begin to comprehend the nature of phase transitions, which involve the transformation of one state of matter into another. (A simple example is the melting of a solid to become a liquid.) Such a transformation is termed 'critical' when, after a certain amount of the substance changes phase, the entire bulk virtually instantaneously also makes the transition. A second, updated edition is planned for future publication, but in the mean time this paperback reissue will be useful in teaching the fundamental principles of this extremely interesting subject.

Críticas

"A substantial step toward filling the void [in this field] and as such is most welcome and bound to be a success. Much of the book is written at a fairly elementary level and assumes virtually no previous acquaintance with the field. The volume is well executed, and some useful devices are employed to make it very readable...the language is extremely clear and precise. Most of the figures are well chosen and contribute appreciably to a better understanding of the text."--Physics Today "The author's enthusiasm, generosity of outlook, and industry have produced a most worthwhile addition to the literature."--Nature
