Editorial Reviews

A textbook providing a unified theory of phases and their interfaces and of the molecular and supramolecular structure of fluids. Simple solids and magnetic systems are only briefly treated. Chapters one through six provide an introductory course in statistical mechanics and phase behavior, while chapters six through 14 can be used for a one-term course of the statistical mechanics of the behavior of phases, interfaces, thin films, and colloidal systems. Chapter 15 covers determination of microstructure by scattering methods. For scientists and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, engineering, physics, and materials science.
