Críticas

From the reviews of the third edition:

"This monograph is devoted to a standard approach of kinetic theory in classical and quantum systems. ... The book is divided in 7 chapters; each of them is ended by a set of interesting problems of different difficulties. The presentation is clear ... . The book includes also tables and figures that make more pleasant its reading. ... this book gives a standard presentation of kinetic theory; one of its qualities is to provide clear calculations and a good overview of classical methods." (Stéphan Métens, Physicalia, Vol. 57 (3), 2005)

"Liboff’s book on kinetic theory, now in its third edition, is a gulf apart from standard treatments one encounters in statistical and thermal physics texts. ... This text will be suitable for students and researchers ... . Students will welcome the good number of problems at the end of each chapter, some of which having detailed solutions." (J. Hartley, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 45 (5), 2005)

Reseña del editor

This book goes beyond the scope of other works in the field with its thorough treatment of applications in a wide variety of disciplines. The third edition features a new section on constants of motion and symmetry and a new appendix on the Lorentz-Legendre expansion.
