From the reviews: "This book excels by its variety of modern examples in solid state physics, magnetism, elementary particle physics [...] I can recommend it strongly as a valuable source, especially to those who are teaching basic statistical physics at our universities." Physicalia

Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics (Classical Theoretical Physics) by Walter Greiner is suitable for third year undergraduate students but in some universities, it may also be used as a review textbook for graduate level physics. While this textbook may not be as popular as those by Reif, Pathria, Huang or Roy, it is a good resource that explains concepts clearly. The book can be divided into three main parts thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and quantum statistics. I believe this textbook is comprehensive and covers all the important topics in statistical mechanics. You won't regret buying it.
