[PDF] Statistical Mechanics: Entropy, Order Parameters and Complexity (Oxford Master Series in Physics) James P. Sethna

I’m studying for my final physics exams and – after having a look at a half-dozen or so other statistical mechanics book in the library – (none got me really involved) I have just to say that I’m really glad that I decided to buy this book! It’s really a joy and fun to read! I think that the other reviewers already gave a good description of the book and about the exercises I can confirm that there are lots of them with many topics being covered there. I personally think this is good, specially for self study – better do-it-yourself, the majority of them are very well elaborated and interesting. I only wish also that some solutions would have been provided… (although I guess all of them together would fill another 300 pages book);In any case highly recommended!
