Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena Vol 5A

H. Osborn

C Domb and M S Green (eds) London and New York: Academic 1976 pp xvii + 420 price £13.50 The subject of phase transitions has rapidly advanced over the last decade and the volume under review is one of a series giving a comprehensive survey of both the theoretical and experimental aspects in this area. This volume contains an attractive article by Kadanoff on the main unifying ideas of universality and scaling (although the innocent reader should beware of misprints) and other contributions discuss mean field theory, applications of neutron scattering and mode coupling methods for discussing nonequilibrium behaviour near a critical point.

C Domb and M S Green (eds) London: Academic Press 1972 pp xv + 506 price £10 The aim of this series of books is to present a coherent account of all that is definitely known about phase transition and critical phenomena. This first volume is devoted to the presentation of exact results in equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Introduction to Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena

D. J. Thouless

H E Stanley Oxford: University Press 1971 pp xx + 308 price £5 In the past fifteen years or so there has been a lot of experimental and theoretical work on the nature of critical phenomena in the neighbourhood of second order phase transitions. It has not been easy to get a good overall view of this work without digging through the rather complex original literature, although there are some good review articles covering particular aspects of the work.
