About this book
Reviews
"This is a magnificent book. Most of the examples given are taken from geosciences, although possible applications of the theory presented are promised for other fields. The contribution of statistical mechanics to modern physics has been enormous, and the text fully reflects this importance. The scope is vast, [...] a brilliant bird’s eye view of natural sciences. [...] This splendid book will find a readership among graduate students, researchers and engineers. It inspires ideas and provides means to play with them. Some of the extraordinarily efficient methods presented lead quickly to very practical results." (Pure and Applied Geophysics, 160, 2003)
"This is an excellent book, a timely and vital contribution written with a great clarity of style ..." (The Physicist, 2001)
