Reader Reviews
This book is not an ideal dictionary of stat/mech as "A modern course in Stat/Phys" by Reichl. Albeit noticeable typos, as long as the reader does all the hard work and derives eqns step by step, he/she can easily correct the typos without missing any important information. The reason I liked this book over others is because of its clear and crisp content to underpin the essential "physics" of each equation by simple words. Moreover, the connections between each section and chapter are arranged in a logical way as you can see that Bob has indeed distilled a thorough understanding of nonequilibrium stat/mech into a delicious, thin book for which every student who uses stat/mech for research should read.
