First published in 1971, this highly popular text is devoted to the interdisciplinary area of critical phenomena, with an emphasis on liquid-gas and ferromagnet

The book provides an introduction to the physics which underlies phase transitions and to the theoretical techniques currently at our disposal for understanding
