《统计物理学2:凝聚态理论(第4版)》是一部享誉世界的理论物理学巨著，是反映经典物理学向现代物理学转变的里程碑式的重要著作，于1962年获得列宁奖。原著为俄文，现已有十余种文字的分卷译本，六种文字的全卷译本。本教程中的七卷是由诺贝尔物理学奖获得者、苏联科学院院士、伟大的理论物理学家朗道和他的学生、苏联科学院院士、杰出的理论物理学家E.M.栗弗席兹在20世纪40—50年代陆续编写而成的，另外三卷由栗弗席兹和俄罗斯科学院院士皮塔耶夫斯基等人按朗道的计划在20世纪60—70年代编写完成，后经不断补充完善，现已成为举世公认的经典学术著作。本套教程内容丰富、立论明确、论证严谨、物理图像清晰，涵盖了理论物理学从微观到宏观的各个领域，各卷中附有丰富的习题及解答，是学习理论物理学的必备参考书。

Several significant additions have been made to the second edition, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calcualtion of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a magnetic field, the asymptotic form of the scattering amplitudes at high energies, inelastic scattering of electrons by hadrons, and the transformation of electron-positron pairs into hadrons.

A lucid presentation of statistical physics and thermodynamics which develops from the general principles to give a large number of applications of the theory.

In this edition the book has been considerably augmented and revised,with the assistance of L.P.Potaevskil throughout.
New xections have been added on the magnetic properties of gases,the thermodynamics of a degenerate plasma,liquid crystals,the fluctuation theory of phase transitions of the second kind,and critical phenomena.……
