Though exciting in their overall tenour and useful to the already active researcher, these have been exceptionally difficult of access even from immediately neighbouring fields.

Methods of Statistical Physics

A. J. Leggett

A I Akhiezer and S V Peletminskii 1981 Oxford: Pergamon xv + 450 pp price £22.50 This book is a fairly high-level monograph which, despite its title, is devoted mainly to the theory of the approach to equilibrium in classical and quantum mechanical systems. It rests very largely on the work of the authors and other Soviet physicists; about two thirds of the literature cited is Russian and about the same fraction is more than 15 years old.
