Review:
"This is the Bible of Stat Mech. It is a must-have for any person studying in the field of Statistical Mechanics."
—Amazon.com
"It is worth twice the price and will prove to be an invaluable reference tool. It has fantastically detailed problems and solutions. I can"t say enough good things about this book."

Description:
It is ideal for a senior or first-year graduate level courses. Statistical Mechanics is the extended version of McQuarrie"s 1984 text -- Statistical Thermodynamics -- now out of print. Although our printing of this book carries a 2000 copyright date, this is not a new edition. It is the original first edition, without any changes to the text (except preface). Despite its age, it is still a renowned and accessible introduction to the subject, containing a large number of chapter-ending problems for students.
Target Audience:
A must-have for persons studying statistcal mechanics/physics.
