Description

Book Synopsis
This two-volume work provides a comprehensive and timely survey of the application of the methods of quantum field theory to statistical physics, a very active and fruitful area of modern research.

Trade Review
"I strongly recommend these two volumes to anyone from intermediate graduate students to active experienced researchers to aging veterans who need to be reminded of or learn for the first time the broad conceptual framework underlying the many current applications of field theoretic methods." Paul Ginsparg, Foundations of Physics
"...an excellent pedagogically oriented introduction to the essential fundamentals of this rapidly expanding field. The level of treatment and clarity make it suitable for use as a primary reference in a graduate course." D. J. Geldart, Physics in Canada

Table of Contents
1. From Brownian motion to Euclidean fields; 2. Grassmannian integrals and two-dimensional Ising models; 3. Spontaneous symmetry breaking; 4. Scaling transformations and the XY-model; 5. Continuous field theory and the renormalization group; 6. Lattice gauge fields.
